Police are advising drivers that there will be an increase in road policing activities across the country in the coming days.
Commissioner of Police Gary Griffith has instructed all divisional traffic and highway patrol units to monitor driving under the influence and enforce speed limits.
The aim is to prevent loss of life or injury due to unsafe and irresponsible road usage, a police release said on Thursday.
The release said Griffith has also instructed police to continue enforcing rules on the illegal use of fireworks and the covid19 Public Health Regulations to ensure public safety over the New Year period.

The police will be taking a zero-tolerance stance on the sale and unlawful use of fireworks during the holiday season, they have said.
A release said they will enforce all laws on the misuse of fireworks to ensure the safety and security of all law-abiding citizens.
The release said over the years there have been several reports of serious injuries to people using fireworks, and also unnecessary, sometimes fatal, disturbances to the elderly, convalescents, animals and pets.
Police commissioner Gary Griffith said while using fireworks is not illegal, there are laws restricting their unauthorised sale and misuse.
