Requirement to install warning signs before mobile speed cameras abolished in Uzbekistan

The mandatory requirement to install warning signs before mobile speed cameras has been abolished in Uzbekistan. However, this requirement remains in effect for stationary radars.

According to the report, this change was adopted based on the Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers dated October 29, 2026, No. 596. Under the new rules, installing the 'Radar' road sign is mandatory exclusively for stationary radars. These signs must be placed at a distance of no less than 250 meters and no more than 500 meters from the radar.

Previously, starting from September 1, 2025, it was required to install warning signs before all types of stationary and mobile radars monitoring vehicle speed. Now, however, this requirement for mobile radars has been eliminated, meaning that drivers in the zone of such radars are no longer obliged to be warned via a road sign.

Furthermore, the new decision included other changes related to recording traffic violations. Specifically, specialized automated cameras installed by entrepreneurs can now record instances of failure to use seatbelts.

An exception was also introduced regarding the issuance of administrative protocols for driving on lane markings within 50 meters of intersections and 20 meters at U-turns, if this is done by traffic police inspectors. However, this does not mean permission to cross lines separating traffic flows in opposite directions.

This decision came into force on October 30, 2026.

Kazakhstan introduces deposit requirement for electronic queue at border crossings with Uzbekistan

Starting November 9, international carriers must now pay a deposit when booking an electronic queue at three border crossing points between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. This innovation is intended to reduce cases of artificial queue formation and increase driver accountability.

According to information provided by the State Revenue Department of Turkestan Region of Kazakhstan, the new rule applies at the 'Kazygurt', 'B. Konyzbayev', and 'Atameken' checkpoints. To reserve travel time, the carrier must top up a special electronic account with an amount of 86.5 thousand tenge, which is equivalent to approximately 2.3 million soums.

If the cargo transport arrives at the specified checkpoint at the scheduled time, the deposited amount is fully refunded. However, if the carrier fails to appear at the appointed time twice within 90 calendar days, the deposit will be confiscated and sent to the state budget.

It was also noted that the modernization process of the 'Zhibek Zholy' checkpoint on the border between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan is concluding; after the upgrade, it will become one of the largest pedestrian checkpoints in the region.
