Fines are increased if you get caught violating traffic laws and regulations in La Paz.
We did NOT independently verify the accuracy of a report by B. Crawford we seen at the cat-litter-box liner.
We usual use that pamphlet laying out at some supermarkets aimed at gringos and consists of advertisements and other BS. Take one from 2002 and a 2012 issue. Same doo-doo!! Anyway, talk is about traffic laws and increased fines IF you… before we get into that I like to address a connected issue. Very often you hear, mainly at online publications / foras this “La Paz police all corrupt etc.” talk.
In a very simple way own experience: Foreigner, living almost 11 years Baja Sur (2 y. Loscabos, 9 y. La Paz). In this almost 9 years La Paz I got pulled over 3 times by La Paz traffic cops (in uniform) and 1 time by PGR at a street-block/control. All of the pull-over been 100% justified. 3 times I did cleary violate traffic rules. At the PGR control it was around midnight in a part of La Paz you rarely expect a foreigner, they stoped EVERY car and i could not produce the vehicle documents.
I've been also living in the USA for many years. I got tickets for way less (like not having a license-plate at front of vehicle as example). In none of the cases i got a ticket, they advised me of my violation and warned me that a repeat will be fined. The PGR guys drive with me to fiances house, checked registration and DL and that was it. There was never any attempt to get a “mordida” out of me!
So far about that. Now about the new fines. The heaviest fine is for those operating a vehicle while under the influence (DUI). It supposedly coast now 908$US. No clue what it was before, never worried about that. If I do a “internal Pacifico” cleansing i just dont drive. Common sense. Should be for everybody that way. Who wants to live with the thought to run somebody over cause he was not capable to operate his vehicle correct??

250$ US if you transport construction materials without permission or you caught to dump garbage in the wrong spot.
455$ US if you park in a bus stop of a marked handicapped parking zone. Same fine will be applied to graffiti taggers who screw up public transit property.
Other fines for not stopping at crosswalks, speeding, not having current registration, driving with your children in your arms, talking on cell phones range from 20$ US to 70$ US depending on the infraction.
