(CNA, Taitung County, May 21, Reporter: Lu Tai-cheng) The Chenggong Precinct of the Taitung County Police Bureau announced a major traffic enforcement operation on the East Coast from May 25 to 27, cracking down on major violations such as drunk driving, speeding, and using a mobile phone while driving. The police stressed: "Don't ask anymore, we will really issue tickets."
The Chenggong Precinct of the Taitung County Police Bureau issued a press release today stating that to maintain traffic order and the safety of road users in its jurisdiction, the precinct will fully implement a "Special Traffic Law Enforcement Project" from May 25 to 27. This project will enhance enforcement efficiency by planning mobile patrols and fixed checkpoints along Provincial Highway 11, at major intersections, and around tourist attractions, based on the East Coast's traffic characteristics and accident hotspots.
Chang Ke-chin, a section chief at the Chenggong Precinct, told a CNA reporter that the focus of this traffic crackdown will be to intensify inspections and enforcement against behaviors such as "drunk driving, speeding, failure to yield to pedestrians as required, running red lights, not wearing seatbelts as required, not wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle, using a mobile phone while driving, and other major traffic violations."
Concurrently, traffic safety will be promoted through community, tribal, and online platforms to remind the public to obey traffic rules. With the recent increase in tourist traffic on the East Coast, drivers are especially urged to pay attention to the road conditions ahead and maintain a safe distance when traveling on the scenic mountain and coastal sections of Provincial Highway 11, to jointly protect their own and others' lives. To declare their determination, the police have created promotional posters and graphics, emphasizing: "Don't ask anymore, we will really issue tickets." (Editor: Long Po-an)
