The City’s Traffic Services made 72 arrests for outsatanding fines of R 51 900.
Five drivers were arrested and 33 were warned to appear in court. Four of the drivers arrested made immediate payments totalling
R9 800.
The operation, dubbed “Operation Reclaim” continued their efforts to claim outstanding traffic fines owed to the City when they conducted house visits in Table View.
Fifty-one warrants were served on seven people. Twenty eight were for outstanding fines on the BMT lane.
The previous day, in another successful operation in the Athlone CBD, “officers focused on collision-causing violations and charged motorists for overtaking on the shoulder, turning in the face of oncoming traffic, following too closely, disregarding red traffic lights and directional arrows and failing to wear their safety belts”, said Chief Inspector of Traffic Services, Merle Lourens.
Traffic Service’s speed section recorded 1220 offences along Duinefontein Road, Manenberg, Vanguard Drive near Turfhall Road and Racecourse Road. The highest speed recorded was 132 km/h.
