82 persons cited for traffic violations on Kitty Seawall

A traffic enforcement operation conducted along the Kitty Seawalls between the Kitty Roundabout and Camp Road, Georgetown resulted in 82 violations and multiple vehicle impoundments.

The exercise took place between 23:20h on Sunday and 01:30h on Monday, 2024, and was led by W/Superintendent Daniels and Deputy Superintendent Fredericks, along with a team of police officers.
The operation focused on addressing traffic infractions such as the use of coloured lights, heavily tinted motor vehicles, and other violations. Among the offences recorded were breaches of the conditions of provisional driver’s licences, failures to produce driver’s licences, unlicensed driving, and breaches of insurance requirements. Cases of non-compliance with prescribed fitness standards were particularly notable, with 16 violations documented.
Additionally, several motorcyclists were found in breach of safety regulations, with 14 failing to wear safety helmets and three carrying pillion riders without helmets. Seven vehicles were cited for illegal front tints, while two were found without front identification marks, one without rear identification marks, and 20 with obscured number plates. The operation also uncovered one unlicensed motor vehicle.
In total, five individuals were arrested during the operation. Police revoked the fitness certifications of 20 vehicles and impounded 19, comprising 17 motorcycles and two motorcars.
The police have emphasised that these operations are part of a broader effort to improve road safety and enforce traffic laws. Motorists are urged to comply with regulations to avoid penalties as similar enforcement exercises are expected to continue in the coming weeks.
