How far over the speed limit can you go in Georgia, and what are the fines?
Speed limits, the no-fine margin and fine amounts.
Short answer
In Georgia you are fined for exceeding the limit by more than 15 km/h: under amendments passed by parliament in June 2026, 15-30 km/h over costs 50 GEL, 30-50 km/h over 100 GEL, and more than 50 km/h over 300 GEL. Standard limits are 60 km/h in towns, 90 km/h outside towns and up to 110 km/h on motorways unless signs say otherwise. Cameras operate around the clock, and violations also cost points on your licence.
Why
- Fines are set by Georgia's Administrative Offences Code.
- In May 2026 the fine for 15-40 km/h over rose to 100 GEL, but in June parliament reduced fines and changed the scale.
- Licences carry 100 points, which are deducted for serious and repeat violations.
Details
Camera fines are issued to the vehicle's plate; for a rental, the rental company will pass it on. Fines can be checked and paid on the Ministry of Internal Affairs website.
Tip
Turn on speed camera and limit alerts in your navigation app, as there are many cameras on the roads.
Common misconception
Nobody keeps to speed limits in Georgia and there are no fines for it.
What actually happens
Cameras record speeding automatically, and the fine goes to the vehicle owner, including rental companies.
