New Traffic regulations on expressways
New traffic regulations are to be put in place for motorists using the
new super highways and expressways, which are to be commissioned in the
near future, according to highly placed police sources.
Currently the police are discussing the regulations with the Department
of Motor Traffic. According to police sources the existing fines will
be increased for traffic violations taking place on super highways and
expressways.
A special police division will handle the traffic on the expressways
that are to be set up shortly according to sources at the Police
Headquarters.
According to the police a new division is required since traffic
regulations on the expressways will be different from the normal
traffic laws.
New regulations are now being drafted by the police for the
expressways. A new division of expressway traffic is to be administered
by a Deputy Inspector General (DIG) with powers vested similar to the
Western Province Traffic DIG. Police officers would be recruited after
undergoing special training to control expressway traffic.
Traffic policemen representing the new division were to be recruited
for duty in the Southern Expressways from Kottawa in the Colombo
District to Pinnaduwa area in Galle which is to be opened for transport
in the near future.
