The Road Transport Department (JPJ) will use drones to enhance traffic policing during the upcoming Ops Hari Raya Aidil Adha campaign. Drones will be used to detect offences such as overtaking on double lines and using emergency lanes on highways, thereby enhancing the efficiency of enforcement across hot spots identified for the campaign.
The Road Transport Department (JPJ) will carry out Ops Hari Raya Aidil Adha from May 24 to 31 using drones to enhance the detection of various traffic offences including overtaking on double lines and using emergency lanes on highways.
Among the hot spots identified are stretches from Kuala Lipis to Gua Musang, Gua Musang to Kuala Krai, Gerik to Jeli, Hulu Terengganu to Kuala Terengganu, Segamat to Mersing, as well as the route from the Menora Tunnel to Sungai Perak. The operation is implemented through a comprehensive and strategic enforcement approach based on the Perception of Being Caught (POBC) concept with increased deployment of enforcement officers at key locations, federal main routes, highways, public transport terminals, and 288 accident hotspots nationwide.
Throughout the operation, JPJ will focus on nine main offences contributing to road accidents including speeding, failure to comply with traffic signals, overtaking on double lines, misuse of emergency lanes, not wearing seat belts or helmets, queue-cutting, using mobile phones while driving, overloading, and carrying loads in a dangerous manner. JPJ will also enhance enforcement on commercial vehicles and public transport, focusing on technical aspects including compliance with speed limitation devices (SLD), Safety Audit (JISA), and operator permits.
Operations will be strengthened through the use of technology and assets including enforcement action cameras (EAC) and body-worn cameras (BWC) alongside patrols and monitoring involving 2,500 JPJ officers and staff to ensure more efficient, transparent, and effective enforcement. Additionally, special operations targeting motorcyclists have been carried out to increase compliance and reduce the risk of accidents, as motorcyclists remain among the most at-risk road users.
Road users are reminded to always prioritize safety, obey traffic laws, and ensure their vehicles are in good condition before starting their journey. Bernama
