The Odesa region was among the regions with the fewest overloaded trucks

This year, WIM systems in the Odesa region detected five overloaded trucks, and their drivers were fined.

According to analysts at the OpenDataBot platform, the Odesa region has had one of the lowest numbers of such cases since the beginning of the year.

For example, the Kirovohrad region recorded the same number of overloading cases, while the Rivne region had the fewest—just one case. In contrast, the Dnipropetrovsk region recorded the highest number of cases—181—with fines totaling 2.75 million hryvnias. Next were Vinnytsia Oblast, with 159 citations totaling 2.17 million hryvnias, and Poltava Oblast, where 155 citations totaling 2.24 million hryvnias were recorded.

The highest average fine for January–May 2026 was recorded in Kirovohrad Oblast—about 20,000 hryvnias. Lviv Oblast took second place with an average fine of about 19,000 hryvnias.

Although the number of fines is decreasing in most regions, it is rising rapidly in the Mykolaiv region. This year, the region has already recorded four times as many fines as during the same period last year.

According to the Road Infrastructure Information and Analytical Center, there are currently 62 WIM systems in operation in Ukraine. The Kyiv region has the most of these checkpoints—eight. In total, WIM systems in Ukraine have recorded 1,388 violations this year, amounting to 19.2 million hryvnias. This is 1.8 times fewer than during the same period in 2025.

While last year an average of about 480 citations were issued each month, that figure has now dropped to 280. This trend has been observed for several years in a row following the record figures recorded in the system’s early years of operation. WIM systems began operating in Ukraine in October 2021. 

In the first nine months of 2025, thanks to the operation of WIM (Weight-in-Motion) automatic enforcement stations, more than 95 million hryvnias were paid into the budget for administrative violations related to road transport safety.
