According to him, incorporating motorcycles into the system was technically difficult, as speed cameras record the front of the vehicle, while motorcycle license plates are located at the rear.
After new equipment was installed at key locations, around nine cases of speeding by motorcyclists were recorded on the very first day.
Toshkovski said the system aims to enforce measures professionally and without discrimination, with the goal of improving road safety and saving lives.
He stressed that the impact of this mechanism is already being observed. By September 1, 2025, 96 fatalities had been recorded in traffic accidents, while during the same period this year, the number had fallen to 60.
The minister also announced that the authorities are preparing to expand the system for penalizing foreign nationals at other border crossings besides Tabanovce, in order to reduce waiting times and congestion at the border.
