تنفيذ الجزاءات الإدارية المرورية في الجزائر

Abstract EN

The Algeria legislator has identified traffic violations and specified penalties and sanctions according to their degrees in the Order 09-03 relating to the organization, safety and security of roads traffic.

In other various texts, the legislator has defined the competent administrative authorities in imposing and executing those sanctions, including Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Interior and local communities, judicial police officers and others.

In order to protect road users who commit breaches from the abuse of authority, the legislator has set a number of legal guarantees, such as the appropriateness of traffic penalty with the traffic violation, the respect of confrontation principle, the right of defense, the personal character of traffic penalty, non-retroactivity of traffic penalty and the submission of traffic punishment to judicial control .However, in spite of all this arsenal of laws, we find that there are many of obstacles that control the process of executing traffic administrative sanctions in Algeria, related either to individuals or to the competent authorities, the most important of which is the weakness of religious influence among road users, as well as the phenomenon of favoritism and nepotism, lack of understanding about the application method of traffic law.
