In endeavours ongoing to enhance road safety and uphold traffic regulations, 456 traffic violation cases were recorded on Wednesday. Among those are 165 pertaining to speeding violations and nine involving driving under the influence (DUI).
To reinforce the effectiveness of enforcement measures, a series of educational programmes have been introduced, encompassing informative lectures delivered to schools, drivers, bar owners, and individuals gathered at entertainment venues across the country. The overarching objective of these coordinated efforts is to cultivate a culture of strict compliance with traffic laws and respect for the road. This, in turn, ensures the safety and wellbeing of all road users, irrespective of their category.

In light of these statistics, the Traffic Chief, Senior Superintendent Mahendra Singh, has emphasised that the ongoing nationwide traffic enforcement exercises constitute a collaborative, impartial initiative involving traffic personnel and other stakeholders. Its primary aim is to curtail reckless road usage and render our roadways safer for everyone.
The daily fluctuations in traffic cases suggest that the traffic management approach is yielding some positive outcomes, according to the Police force.
Motorists are urged to adhere to vital safety guidelines: reduce speed, abstain from drinking and driving, employ designated sober and responsible drivers, fasten seat belts, and prioritise arriving safely at their destinations.
Public awareness campaigns now extend beyond daylight hours, and include interactions with bars and restaurants, where traffic officers conduct informative sessions. Bar owners are provided with emergency contact numbers to report motorists’ misconduct promptly.
Additionally, suggestion boxes are now in place, and engagement with Regional Road Safety Councils and other partners is underway to promote a positive shift in motorists’ mindsets.
A concerted effort is underway to engage a wide spectrum of stakeholders, including public transportation providers, drivers, and religious organizations, among others.
These endeavours aim to ensure effective communication and resonance of positive messages.
It has been pointed out that the joint endeavour of enforcing traffic regulations and promoting educational awareness is diligently working to strengthen road safety on a comprehensive scale.
