Police Launch Special Traffic Operations Under ‘Clean Sri Lanka’ Initiative

Date:

Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP) Priyantha Weerasooriya has instructed all police stations to implement special traffic operations across every police division, effective from January 2, as part of efforts to enhance road safety and improve traffic control.

The initiative aligns with the broader ‘Clean Sri Lanka’ project, which is being carried out under the government’s new policy framework, ‘A Thriving Nation – A Beautiful Life.’

Key areas of focus include addressing vehicles equipped with unauthorized modifications such as loud horns, additional flashing lights, loud silencers, and other features that could contribute to accidents and road hazards.

Under the directive, each police division is required to conduct two traffic operations daily, lasting three hours each.

The Acting IGP also emphasized the importance of treating passengers with courtesy during inspections of public transport vehicles, ensuring that these operations do not cause unnecessary inconvenience.

This targeted operation aims to create safer roads and improve compliance with traffic regulations while fostering a culture of mutual respect and accountability among road users.
