On April 29, 2026, traffic police nationwide launched a two-theme crackdown and identified 1,562 violations. On April 30, 2026, the Traffic Police Department under the Ministry of Public Security said officers began a high-intensity enforcement operation from April 29, focusing on passenger-transport vehicle controls and tighter enforcement of alcohol limits.
Authorities mobilized more than 1,100 inspection teams to review passenger cars, trucks, and tractor-trailers.
Passenger cars: 4,142 vehicles inspected; 367 violation notices issued; 6 vehicle owners involved.

Reported violations included speeding, illegal stopping, overloading or oversized cargo, wrong-lane driving, and failure to obey signals. Officials also highlighted that overcrowding passengers or placing goods in the same cabin as passengers continued to pose significant safety risks.
During midnight alcohol enforcement, nearly 200 driver licenses were suspended. From 19:00 to midnight on April 29, more than 2,500 officers in 676 teams set up alcohol-checkpoints on key routes.
Scale: 27,865 vehicle stops were conducted to test alcohol levels.
Results: 1,562 drivers were found violating; authorities seized 1,562 vehicles and suspended driving licenses in 194 cases.

The traffic police stated they will continue comprehensive patrols and impose strict penalties for violations that directly cause accidents, reiterating the motto “no zones of exemption, no exceptions” to protect road safety.
