A total of 573 verbal warnings and 1,036 summonses were issued to pedestrians during a city-wide pedestrian road safety campaign.

 

The two-week campaign ended on November 5. Police issued 777 summonses for failing to comply with a light signal at a light signal crossing, 92 summonses for crossing within 15 metres of a footbridge or pedestrian subway without using the footbridge or subway, and 93 summonses for climbing over or through a kerbside fence or central reservation onto a road.

 

Officers also distributed 28,903 publicity leaflets at 599 locations across the territory, including traffic accident black spots, and appealed to the public to comply with road safety regulations.
