Police/LTA relaunch Operation Red Zone

Forty six percent of the drivers involved in road fatalities this year are habitual offenders.

This is now becoming a growing concern which has prompted the Fiji Police Force and the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to partner up again and relaunch “Operation Red Zone Phase 3”.

According to police, the road death toll now stands at 33 compared to 31 for the same period last year and the two organizations have decided to implement new strategies that will see habitual offenders taken off the roads.

Over the next few days, the focus will be on the Sigatoka and Ba corridor and drivers who have more than 10 traffic infringement notices will be strictly monitored.
