KUWAIT CITY: The Kuwait Traffic Police have initiated a significant crackdown on the illegal use of private vehicles for commercial transportation and other traffic violations. This operation, led by the General Traffic Department (GTD), targets public buses and aims to enforce stricter adherence to traffic laws.

The Ministry of Interior’s GTD has launched this extensive security campaign in response to rising concerns over road safety and illegal transport practices. Officials stated that the operation is crucial for maintaining order on the roads and ensuring that public transport systems operate within legal frameworks.

This crackdown is expected to have far-reaching implications for commuters and the transportation sector in Kuwait. By addressing these violations, the authorities aim to enhance road safety and improve the overall efficiency of public transport, which is vital for the daily lives of citizens and residents alike.

Looking ahead, the GTD plans to continue its enforcement efforts, with further operations scheduled in the coming weeks. Authorities are also expected to review existing traffic regulations to strengthen compliance and deter future violations.
