Traffic police manning the Southern Expressway are to whiz past in
2600cc engine capacity high speed Subaru Imprezza cars which can
accelerate to 100 km/h within few seconds to catch traffic offenders.
A special police division to handle traffic on expressways set up by
the Police Department is currently conducting trials in the Southern
Expressway with Subaru cars imported recently. These cars are renowned
for their high engine capacity and exceeding the 100 km/ph barrier
within few seconds.
According to the police a new division was required since traffic
regulations on the expressways are different from the normal traffic
laws. Meanwhile, the expressway named as ´Gateway to Wonder´ is to be
opened for the public by President Mahinda Rajapaksa on November 27.
New regulations have already being drafted by police for the
expressway. The new division of expressway traffic is administered by a
Deputy Inspector General (DIG) with powers vested similar to the Western
Province Traffic DIG. (Supun Dias)
