The Ministry of Interior intends to issue a decision banning residents from traveling unless they pay their traffic violations, Al-Rai reported.
Well-informed security sources told the daily that this matter is in force in all the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council, and in light of this, the traffic sector is considering submitting a proposal to be submitted to the Minister of Interior Sheikh Thamer Al-Ali to issue a decision regulating the collection of traffic violations.
The traffic violation costs are estimated at millions of dollars. The large amounts of the violation fees cannot be collected for violators who have died or are imprisoned, in addition to a large number of residents who left the country permanently, which put the Ministry in a predicament with the regulatory authorities and the Audit Bureau.
According to the sources, among the suggestions, is to prevent residents of the country from traveling before paying traffic violations, by setting up special offices at land, air, and sea border ports for collection, as well as linking customs and the interior to prevent any vehicle registered with traffic violations from leaving the land ports.
