Yamunanagar Traffic Police intensifies school-zone enforcement as 20 vehicles are impounded during special safety drive
YAMUNANAGAR | PEN OF DEMOCRACY NEWS DESK
Yamunanagar District Traffic Police has launched a special enforcement and awareness campaign around schools to improve road safety for students and ensure that motorists comply with traffic regulations. Acting on the directions of Superintendent of Police Kamaldeep Goel, police teams checked vehicles operating around different schools and took action against drivers found violating prescribed rules.
20 Vehicles Impounded During School-Zone Checks
Traffic police said the campaign was focused on areas where the movement of schoolchildren is high, making disciplined traffic movement particularly important. During the checking drive, teams paid special attention to vehicles being driven without proper number plates and by persons without valid driving licences. Vehicles found in violation were dealt with according to the applicable traffic rules.
According to Traffic Police Station in-charge Sandeep Kumar, a total of 20 vehicles were impounded during the action. The enforcement was accompanied by on-the-spot awareness efforts, with police personnel advising motorists about responsible driving and the importance of carrying the required vehicle and driving documents.
KEY HIGHLIGHT
20 vehicles were impounded during the special traffic enforcement drive around schools in Yamunanagar. Police said action focused particularly on violations involving missing number plates and driving without a licence.
Student Safety at the Centre of the Drive
Traffic police said maintaining safe and orderly movement around educational institutions remains a priority because school entrances and surrounding roads experience heavy pedestrian and vehicular movement. Unregulated driving, incomplete vehicle documentation and disregard for basic road-safety measures can increase risks for students, parents, teachers and other road users.
During the campaign, motorists were advised to keep all necessary documents with them and ensure that their vehicles carry number plates fitted in accordance with the prescribed rules. Police personnel also explained that compliance is particularly important near schools, where drivers are expected to exercise greater caution and maintain discipline.
Police Combine Enforcement with Road-Safety Awareness
Traffic Station in-charge Sandeep Kumar said the purpose of traffic regulations is not simply to prevent challans but to protect every person using the road. He appealed to motorists to complete their vehicle documentation, follow safety requirements and drive responsibly.
Two-wheeler riders were specifically urged to wear helmets, while four-wheeler occupants were advised to use seat belts. Drivers were also asked to remain within prescribed speed limits and avoid behaviour that could put other road users at risk.
ROAD SAFETY CHECKLIST
- Carry valid documents: Keep the required vehicle and driving documents available while travelling.
- Use proper number plates: Ensure the vehicle number plate complies with prescribed requirements.
- Wear a helmet: Two-wheeler riders should use a properly fitted helmet.
- Wear seat belts: Four-wheeler occupants should use seat belts.
- Respect speed limits: Drive at a safe and prescribed speed, particularly around schools.
- Protect pedestrians: Slow down and remain alert where children and other pedestrians are moving.
Further Action to Continue
Police have made it clear that enforcement against traffic violations will continue in accordance with the rules. The department has appealed to motorists to adopt safe driving habits voluntarily and play the role of responsible citizens on the road.
The message from the campaign is straightforward: traffic rules are intended to reduce road risks, not merely to penalise offenders. Following speed limits, wearing protective equipment, carrying valid documents and maintaining road discipline can help create safer surroundings for schoolchildren as well as the wider community.
