The proposals to reduce the fines will remain under discussions for ages,,however, if it was to increase, wouldve been approved the same time & need'nt need any discussion. xD

Thanks again for all your adds. :)

Arien: the one after Lulu Center..(next to Hamad Hospital)

I was coming from Regency Travels road & accidently jumped the Red Lights while taking Left turn towards Hamad Hospital.

A Long Vehicle carrier Trailer ahead me blocked my sight to traffic lights.

anyways, would checkout the site in coming days & would update! keeping fingers crossed :P

Go to the Traffic Department and see if you can negotiate down the fine. I was able to pay QR500 instead of the 6000 fine.

A friend went to Traffic Dept. and appealed the violation. They reviewed the video and asked him to pay 3,000QR instead of 6,000QR.

Try to bit the red light for 5 traffic lights then wait for 1 week. After checking the MOI, then what do you think they would feel?

Do you think it will not help?

Depending on area where you JUMP the red light. Check the website after 3 days to see your penalties..Good luck!
