Traffic Management First: Chennai Police Prioritize Smooth Flow Over Fines

In instructions issued to traffic police across the city, additional commissioner of police (Traffic) R Sudhakar said that no more than two police personnel should be posted at a particular spot to apprehend offenders.

Key Points from the Directive:

Authority to Issue Fines: Only officials above the rank of sub-inspector are authorized to issue challans and collect spot fines from motorists.

Primary Focus: Traffic police are advised to concentrate on easing congestion in busy areas, particularly during peak hours, rather than solely focusing on issuing fines.

Implications for Motorists:

While enforcement of traffic regulations continues, this shift aims to create a more efficient and commuter-friendly environment in Chennai.

The Chennai Traffic Police remain committed to ensuring road safety and smooth traffic flow for all residents and visitors.
