Traffic crackdown yields US$19m
Print Edition
FINES totaling 125 million yuan (US$19.3 million) have been issued since the start last month of a citywide crackdown on traffic violations, a senior police official said yesterday.
Since March 25, 790,000 cases have been handled, which is about twice as many as in the equivalent period of 2015, said Yu Lie, deputy director general of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau.
A total of 729 people have been punished for “severe violations” — such as interfering with police business or using counterfeit license plates — and could face criminal charges, he said, adding that 285 such offenders have been detained by police.
During the crackdown, police will have “zero tolerance for traffic violations,” he said.
The campaign has not been without cost, however. In the past month, 168 officers and 13 police assistants have been assaulted while trying to carry out their duty, Yu said.
About 14,000 police officers, and more than 20,000 auxiliaries and volunteers are involved in the campaign, he said.
As part of the long-term effort to combat traffic offenses, an additional 18,000 surveillance cameras will be installed across the city, Yu said, adding that officials are also seeking a change in the law so that people who are punished for traffic violations also receive demerits on their credit records.
