During the New Year celebrations, traffic safety becomes a critical concern for the Kerala Police, given the large crowds and heavy vehicular movement. To prevent accidents, especially those involving drunk driving, the police increase the number of roadblocks and patrolling officers across key cities. Breathalyzer tests are conducted at strategic locations, and traffic signals are reinforced to ensure smooth flow during peak hours. Special teams are deployed to control congestion and guide drivers in avoiding dangerous shortcuts.
In addition, the Kerala Police have enhanced their collaboration with local government authorities to improve public transportation options during the New Year period. This includes deploying additional buses and arranging for more taxis to reduce the reliance on personal vehicles. These measures are designed to reduce road accidents and ensure a safe and enjoyable celebration for everyone.
