Speeders and illegal parking lots will have to dig deeper into their pockets from November 9th.
As the Federal Ministry of Transport announced on Monday in response to a dpa request, the changes to the fine catalog regulation are to be announced this Tuesday in the Federal Law Gazette and then come into force three weeks later.
The renewed catalog of fines provides for harsher penalties for violations of the rules in road traffic.
For example, if you drive 16 to 20 kilometers per hour (km / h) too fast in urban areas in the future and are flashed, you will soon pay 70 euros instead of 35.
The aim is to increase road safety.
Cyclists and pedestrians should also be better protected.
In future, there will also be higher fines for those who illegally park on sidewalks and cycle paths, stop unauthorized on protective lanes or park and stop in the second row.
Parking in the second row will cost 55 instead of 20 euros in the future, and it will be even more expensive if other road users are hindered or endangered.
Another new feature is a fine of 55 euros for unauthorized parking in a parking lot for electrically powered vehicles and car sharing vehicles.
On the other hand, driving ban rules and the regulations on points in Flensburg should remain unchanged when driving too fast.
The new catalog of fines was preceded by long negotiations between the federal and state governments.
Due to a formal error, stricter rules on fines in the new road traffic regulations were suspended last year.
As a result, a political dispute arose, especially about the actually planned tougher driving ban rules when driving too fast - but these are not coming.
Instead, the federal and state governments agreed to increase fines.
The Federal Council unanimously approved the tightening on October 8th.
