The Mendoza provincial government has proposed a legislative project to reform the local Traffic Law, Law 9024. This initiative seeks to officially incorporate video surveillance and intelligent cameras to automate the detection of infractions, including speeding, running red lights, and mobile phone use. Security Minister Mercedes Rus stated the system is intended to address areas where physical patrols are difficult due to geographic challenges or lack of connectivity.

To assist with public adaptation, authorities plan a preventive trial period where cameras will issue informative warnings instead of immediate economic sanctions. 

In response to evolving traffic regulations, deputy Gustavo Cairo has introduced a bill to decouple out of province fines from driver license renewals. The proposal aims to modify Article 21 of the Traffic Law so that individuals can renew licenses even if they have disputed or unnotified fines from other jurisdictions, which Cairo argues is currently an unjust requirement.
