A tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between the Ministry of Transport and Logistics, EthioTelecom, and regional and city administrations to establish a unified, nationwide traffic fine system.

According to the Ministry of Transport, the initiative seeks to create a consistent and transparent framework for managing traffic violations across the country. The new system is expected to significantly bolster law enforcement capabilities and enhance regulatory efficiency by streamlining interactions between authorities and motorists.

The agreement also marks a pivotal step towards digitising the traffic fine process—transitioning from a fragmented, manual approach to a centralised digital platform. This transformation is anticipated to improve operational accuracy, ensure greater transparency, and accelerate the enforcement process.
