KUALA LUMPUR: The police's seasonal Ops Sikap operations will commence on Oct 7 and one of the strategies will be the deployment of plain-clothed officers on express buses to monitor drivers.
The officers will issue summonses on offences committed when the express bus reaches its destination.
Police will concentrate on six main offences that contribute to road accidents -reckless driving, speeding, beating the red light, overtaking on double lines, illegal usage of emergency lanes and cutting queues.
Federal traffic chief Senior Asst Comm II Hamza Taib said his men would focus on express buses and motorcyclists, who contribute to the highest number of deaths during the holiday periods.
A total of 5,190 policemen assisted by Federal Reserve Unit and General Operation Force personnel are expected to be deployed in the operation.
Police have also established 346 high-risk locations on federal and state roads, and highways.
Nineteen 19 watchtowers will be used to monitor traffic flow along with 212 close circuit television cameras belonging to City Hall’s traffic management centre and roadblocks will also be set-up.
Random urine tests will also be conducted on motorcyclists, bus drivers and attendants throughout the country.
