Honduras traffic law enforcement

Overview

In Honduras, the National Directorate of Roads and Transport (DNVT) has intensified enforcement efforts to reduce road accidents and fatalities. By mid-September 2026, the agency reported over 26,000 traffic sanctions, including approximately 2,200 cases of driving under the influence of alcohol.

Authorities attributed the rise in sanctions to increased personnel, enhanced operational presence, and new strategies targeting public transportation. Enforcement actions have focused on dangerous behaviors such as running red lights and overcrowding vehicles, with some transport units being seized. The DNVT has also implemented toxicological testing through its Road Safety Brigade to ensure stricter compliance.
