These operations were carried out between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 12:10 a.m. the following morning, as part of the Department’s ongoing efforts to enhance road safety and ensure compliance with traffic laws.

During the operation, a total of sixty (60) traffic tickets were issued for various traffic offences. These included:
