ISKANDAR PUTERI: Johor police issued 4,433 traffic summonses in the first two days of special Christmas and New Year’s Eve operations.
State police chief CP Datuk Ab Rahaman Arsad said the simultaneous operations, running until January 1, involve 1,681 personnel deployed statewide.
Most summonses were for vehicle modifications, missing or altered registration plates, driving without a licence, and lack of insurance coverage.
“The main focus is accident prevention, curbing street crime and maintaining public order amid heavy traffic,” he said at a press conference.
A special motorcycle operation in Iskandar Puteri yesterday saw 52 bikes inspected and 143 summonses issued, with all vehicles seized under the Road Transport Act.
The Department of Environment issued 14 notices for emission and noise offences, while the Road Transport Department issued 32 summonses.
Ab Rahaman added that Ops Lancar will run from today until January 1, focusing on key high-traffic locations.
PLUS data shows an average of 22,000 to 24,000 vehicles entering and exiting Johor daily via the Senai Utara and Lima Kedai toll plazas since December 19.
Police have identified 47 hotspot locations, including highways, city centres, and major entry points like the Sultan Iskandar Building.
“These measures aim to prevent severe traffic congestion during the year-end festive period,” he said.
He also urged the public to use the Volunteer Smartphone Patrol application to register travel plans to help safeguard property.
