Chihuahua road safety and mobility law reforms

Overview

The state of Chihuahua has implemented significant reforms to its mobility and road safety laws. These regulations include new safety requirements for vehicle passengers, specifically mandating that children and adolescents under 1.35 meters in height use appropriate child restraint systems in rear seats. The law also establishes a 20 km/h speed limit in sensitive areas such as schools, hospitals, and parks to protect pedestrians.

Following the implementation of the State of Chihuahua Mobility and Road Safety Law, authorities have increased enforcement regarding driving under the influence. As of 2026, 818 driver's licenses have been seized due to DUI offenses. Under current legislation, individuals caught driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs face a minimum one-year suspension of driving privileges. The law also sets strict alcohol limits, including a total prohibition on alcohol for drivers of passenger or cargo vehicles.
