Drivers across Gujarat faced strict enforcement last month with authorities booking over 74,000 traffic violations during August. The statewide crackdown specifically targeted dangerous road habits that put daily commuters at risk on highways and city streets.

The rigorous checking drive focused heavily on reckless driving behaviours that frequently lead to serious accidents. Traffic police deployed interceptors and increased patrolling to catch offenders during peak hours.

• Overspeeding across major highways
• Driving on the wrong side of the road
• Heavy penalties crossing 5.3 crore rupees
• Statewide deployment of traffic teams

Where the penalties are highest

Urban centers and major state highways recorded the highest volume of challans issued during the month-long drive. Commuters commuting between major cities noticed increased police presence and automated speed camera checks.

What drivers should watch for next

Traffic departments have announced that these special enforcement drives will continue through the coming months without warning. Owners must check their vehicle documents and verify that all FASTag and challan dues are cleared to avoid sudden vehicle impoundment.
