            (5) Strictly enforcing the regulations against overloaded dump trucks

                  In order to assure traffic safety, the NPA has
               promulgated the "Crackdown on Overloaded

               Dump Trucks Supervision Plan" to require
               every police department to enforce laws and
               regulations monthly and to conduct rigid
               training against the overloading and speeding
               of dump trucks. To step up enforcement against

               truckers who avoid weigh stations by dodging
               such scales, the National Police Highway
                                                           ▲  Seizing the overload of sandstone
               Bureau has constantly cooperated with county
               police to stop unsafe truckers getting off the
               highway before the weigh stations.

            (6) Ensuring the rights of pedestrians

                  The NPA has required all police departments to enhance the safe movement of road users by
               cracking down on drivers who refuse to yield to those walking and who violate traffic regulations
               regarding pedestrians in 2018. Police have also applied different social media, such as bulletin boards,
               flyers, Internet, broadcasts, etc. to publicize awareness of the rights of pedestrians. In addition, one
               of the duties of police is to report malfunctioning traffic equipment (traffic signs or signals) on the

               roadways for further solutions or maintenance. For the road safety of the elderly, police departments
               help to check the road defects, such as traffic signal malfunction, negligent road design, etc.

            (7) Continuing the management of taxi drivers

                  In order to address potential safety problems caused by taxi drivers, the NPA will execute its
               "Taxi Safety Management Program" to enhance the management of taxi drivers and to ensure
               passengers' safety in 2018. Furthermore, the NPA provides an in-service training program for taxi

               drivers to strengthen police management efficiency.
            (8) Improving the quality of traffic accident management

                  To enhance professional ability in handling traffic accidents, the NPA will hold "Seminars on Traffic

               Accident Management for Graded Professionals" and "Seminars on Cause Analysis and Reconstruction
               of Traffic Accidents" in 2018, to strengthen professionalism and analytic ability in officers, so as to
               improve the quality of Traffic Police service for the public.
