Kuwait Records 746 Violations in Weeklong Traffic Campaigns

Kuwait's Traffic Department intensified its efforts to ensure public safety and enforce traffic laws during a comprehensive campaign spanning June 14 to 20. The intensive field operations were conducted across various governorates with the aim of enhancing discipline on the roads and responding swiftly to reported incidents.

The weeklong initiative yielded significant results, with authorities recording a total of 746 traffic violations. Beyond ticketing, the campaigns led to the apprehension of 15 individuals who were wanted by law. In a demonstration of community engagement, the department also provided 771 humanitarian services to citizens and residents during this period.

Further enforcement actions included the arrest of six individuals for violating residency laws and the seizure of 10 vehicles that were reportedly wanted. Three people were detained for lacking proper identification, and eight suspects were referred to the General Directorate for Combating Narcotics. An additional arrest was made involving an individual found in an "unnatural state."

The department also impounded five vehicles specifically for traffic infractions, managed 126 traffic accident reports, and executed 1,402 security missions. The General Directorate of Traffic Police has pledged to continue its round-the-clock efforts and field campaigns to maintain security and safety standards and strengthen traffic discipline throughout Kuwait.
