"Administrative Authority to Impose Traffic Fines in Iraq." International Academic Journal of Law, vol. 5, no. 2, July-Dec 2024, pp. 1-7.The traffic fine imposed by the competent administrative bodies in the traffic departments represented by their officers and employees is one of the means of administrative control used by the General Administration to protect the public order to hold accountable drivers of vehicles of various types and sizes who commit traffic violations to reduce these violations and regulate traffic and thus protect public and private property and protect the lives of citizens. On this basis, this study was divided into two requirements. The first requirement dealt with the nature of the traffic fine and its types. It was divided into two branches. The first dealt with the definition of the traffic fine. The second branch dealt with the types of traffic fines. The second requirement discussed the nature of traffic fines and their legal basis. It was also divided into two branches.  The first dealt with the nature of traffic fines and what distinguishes them from other financial penalties. The second branch discussed the legal basis of traffic fines. At the end of this study, I addressed the results I reached and the proposals I directed to the legislator, hoping that they will contribute to serving science and law and protecting society, the most important of which is that traffic fines contribute to protecting the public order by being a major security deterrent in Reducing traffic violations and protecting society. The most important recommendations are to activate the use of artificial intelligence in imposing fines on all violations without exception and to implement the feature of sending e-mails to the driver’s phone when he commits a traffic violation.
