The State Government is urging drivers to take care on WA roads this festive season, as traffic enforcement operations start to ramp up.
Police look set to patrol arterial routed linked to holiday destinations in regional WA and in the metropolitan area with officers will deploy "lockdown's" utilising drug and booze bus operations.
Both marked and unmarked traffic vehicle, along with covert police motorbikes will target speeding, seat belt offences and drivers using their mobile phones.
The double demerit point period begins from midnight Thursday, December 17 and will stay in place until January 3.
Police and Road Safety Minister Michelle Roberts said this festive season we want all Western Australians to travel safely and enjoy time with their family and friends.
"There will be a big police presence throughout the state, but let us all show some courtesy, consideration and care on the roads this holiday season," she said.
"Whilst we regularly hear about the people killed on WA roads, hundreds more are injured on WA roads every year.
"Let's try and save other West Australian road users and their families from the shocking impact of road trauma this Christmas."
