La Paz Traffic Infractions Go Up

The rumor that traffic infractions in La Paz would increase 500 percent was confirmed yesterday (Thursday, March 24) by the Official Gazette of the State. A speeding ticker (going over 50 km/hr in the city) or running a red light now has a cost of $480 USD. Parking in a no-parking space (curbs painted red), $120 USD. The limit of alcohol in your system has been decreased from 0.50 to 0.25 and the DUI ticket will set you back 3 grand. There goes Mexico’s favorite sport!
