Definition
违规 means 'to violate rules/regulations' and is a general, neutral term used for breaking any rule or regulation (traffic, company, sports). It is similar to 违反 (wéifǎn) but 违反 is broader, covering laws, rules, and agreements; 违规 is narrower, focusing on specific rules or regulations. 违法 (wéifǎ) specifically means 'break the law' and is more serious.
