The Transport Administration and Climate Ministry’s new 2026–2035 traffic safety plan calls for penalty points, more speed cameras and lower speed limits.

Presenting the traffic safety program, which was sent out for interagency coordination on Wednesday, the Transport Administration said the focus remains on reducing traffic fatalities, as in previous plans. While earlier programs failed to meet their targets and several proposed measures were dropped, Transport Administration Director Priit Sauk said he remains optimistic.

The program also comes with a detailed four-year implementation plan, laid out in a table of various activities and projects. Some include confirmed funding, while others do not.

In total, the measures with funding estimates carry a cost of €133.6 million over four years, of which €88.3 million is still lacking.

Most of the funding gap relates to road improvement projects not included in the table’s calculations, such as the €210 million earmarked for the Tartu–Tallinn highway over the next three years.
