Commissioner of Police Ahmed Mohamed has launched the Traffic Enhancement Plan aimed at strengthening traffic management and road safety in Malé and along the Sinamalé Bridge highway.
The plan was launched during a meeting with officers from the Traffic Police and Road Management Department at Iskandhar Koshi. The ceremony was attended by Deputy Commissioner of Police Farhad Fikury and senior officers from the department, according to the Maldives Police Service (MPS).
MPS said the plan outlines the operational approach for officers carrying out traffic duties in Malé and on the Sinamalé Bridge highway.
During the meeting, the Commissioner of Police emphasised the need to strengthen ongoing efforts to improve road safety and develop long-term solutions to traffic congestion. He noted that the number of officers assigned to traffic operations has already been increased and called for a stronger police presence in the capital’s busiest commercial areas to reduce inconvenience to the public.
Following the launch of the plan, the Traffic and Road Management Department said police officers will be deployed to additional locations across Malé, expanding traffic monitoring beyond the areas currently covered.
The department also said efforts are underway to further strengthen traffic policing by increasing the number of personnel assigned to traffic and road management duties in the future.
