The number of traffic violators in the country decreased by over sixty offenders on a monthly average. From a monthly figure of 182 cases before March, the number has decreased to 119 cases.

This according to the Road Safety and Transport Authority (RSTA) is following the closure of entertainment spots and early closure of bars and shops in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Offtg. Director General of RSTA Ugyen Norbu said, “We feel that the number of offenders decreased because of the early closure of bars, Drayangs, hotels and other entertainment hubs.

Among the districts, the highest traffic violators are usually recorded in Thimphu. The cases in the capital have reduced from 104 before COVID-19 pandemic to less than 100 after the closure of entertainment hubs and bars.

Ugyen Norbu said security personnel is also deployed in areas such as Buddha point, Sangaygang and above Yangchenphug High School in the capital.

He added that the RSTA in partnership with Traffic Police are conducting drug and alcohol tests and screenings at various key areas such as Damchu, Khasadrapchu, and in Thimphu town. Such checking is also being conducted across the country.
