Cabinet approves nationwide online traffic fine payment system

Minister of Transport and Highways Bimal Rathnayake says the Cabinet has approved the implementation of an islandwide online traffic fine payment system.

He made this statement during a media briefing near the Kottawa Expressway entrance, following a public awareness programme on mandatory seat belt use for vehicles travelling on expressways.

“The Cabinet approved the proposal today. At present, the online fine payment system is available only between Kurunegala and Anuradhapura. Now, we’re providing all police units with mobile devices, so that from this year, traffic fines can be paid from anywhere via mobile phones,” the minister said.

He emphasized that while the government is making it easier to pay fines, the real objective is road safety. “Rather than paying fines, we urge everyone to drive carefully, wear seat belts, and avoid violations. Our core message is simple, travel safely,” he added.
