Blocking Intersections, Illegal Lane Cutting... Police to Crack Down on "Five Major Traffic Violations"
Focused Crackdown on the "Five Major Traffic Violations"
Aimed at Restoring Community Trust and Traffic Order
The National Police Agency announced on August 28 that it will conduct a focused crackdown on the "five major traffic violations" that undermine trust in local communities and everyday life, starting from September 1.
The five major traffic violations include: blocking intersections (tailgating through red lights), illegal lane cutting, illegal U-turns, violations of the expressway bus-only lane by passenger vans with 12 seats or fewer, and violations of traffic laws by non-emergency ambulances.
The police will use camcorders to monitor 883 key intersections where blocking is frequent, 514 locations where illegal lane cutting is common, and 205 locations with frequent illegal U-turns. At these sites, banners with driver advisories will be installed to inform the public that focused enforcement is underway.

A National Police Agency official stated, "If we start by addressing small acts of deviation that cause public inconvenience and undermine community trust, we can prevent larger crimes and accidents. We hope the public will take an active interest in and participate in establishing basic traffic order on the roads, including eradicating the five major traffic violations."
