To make your life a tad easier, though, we’ve also gathered up all of the traffic violations and penalties in Saudi Arabia, along with the fines that go with committing a violation here. Divided into four categories, going from category one (highest fines from SAR500 to SAR900) to category four (lowest fines from SAR100 to SAR150), the Ministry of Interior has defined violations and fines. So, if you’re on the road out here in Riyadh or Saudi Arabia, for that matter, we’d be a little more careful.
New traffic violations have also been announced this year, and you can find all the information here.
