Special traffic scheme for Sinhala and Tamil New Year

A special traffic scheme will come into effect in the main cities next week on account of the forthcoming Sinhala and Tamil New Year.

Police will enforce road safety rules strictly to minimise the number of fatal road accidents during the festive season as a result of drunk driving, Police Media Spokesman SP Ajith Rohana told the Sunday Observer.

He said the traffic operation scheme will come into effect on April 2 and remain in force for two weeks to detect errant drivers who violate the Highway Traffic Code.

During the festive season policemen will be deployed round the clock near hotels and public places where musical shows are held.

“Motorists have been warned not to drive vehicles after consuming liquor especially after night functions.

They should let others drive their vehicles. Police have also warned motorists to lock their vehicles securely while parking at shopping malls and public car parks and not leave expensive items such as computer laptops and jewellery in vehicles.

Vehicles parked at unauthorised places will be towed to the nearest police station and released after a fine and towing charges are paid.

Traffic policemen have also been instructed to enforce the seat belt rule during the festive season, the police spokesman said.

Police have also warned the public to avoid walking on the rail track using mobile phones.

Four persons died last week as a result of being knocked by trains while walking on the rail track. People are prohibited from walking on the rail track, the spokesman said.
