Goa Traffic Rules

Goa is the fifth-highest state to report maximum deaths by road accidents in 2019 as stated in the report by NCRB. Going by the claims of traffic police officials in Goa, speeding vehicles are the major reason behind the high number of road accidents in the state. For the unversed, overspeeding is a violation of the traffic rules of the country, including in Goa. Any violation of the traffic rules stated under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 can lead to a penalty or a Goa traffic challan.

With the rise in the number of road accidents pan-India, including Goa, the central government had revised the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988. The revised Act enforced stricter rules and heftier penalties for the violation of traffic rules. In some cases, the fine amounts were increased by almost 200% of the previous amount. The new guidelines as per the revised Act came into effect from 1^st September 2019.

Goa, however, did not accept the new traffic challan rates as stated in the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Act, 2019 immediately. The state government decided to accept new rates for few offences and slash the challan rates for other offences citing reasons of unfeasibility. As a result, the Goa traffic challan rates are different from the rest of the country.

The new traffic challan rates in Goa were supposed to be implemented starting January 2020. But the implementation of the new challan rates was further delayed in Goa first due to the poor road conditions and later due to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The new Goa traffic challan rates were finally brought into effect from 1^st May 2021.

Before knowing about the traffic challan rates in Goa, take a look at various documents that every car driver must carry as per the Goa traffic rules.
