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

Bureau has constantly cooperated with county
police to stop unsafe truckers getting off the
highway before the weigh stations.

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.

"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.

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.
