Good start and we need to start at some point. should be implemented on all roads. :)

This is long overdue. But why only Jayawardhanapura area? Why not Galle Road, Highlevel, Negombo

Police dont have to go anywhere just wait at color lights and railway crossings and catch all the vehicles(3 wheels, bikes and batta cars n lorries etc) flocking at the gate/line and impose fines in excess of 10000.

Road rules are blatantly violated all the time by not only motorists but also pedestrians and if this system is carried out strictly the govt. could reduce taxes on essentials as the income from these fines will be enormous at least till the culprits start behaving!

Only law breakers who have broken the traffic laws of this country are against this. This was long overdue

Why only on Jayawardanepura road. It should be implemented on every road in the country. Otherwise this excise will be of no use. Because drivers from other cities when come to Colombo they will not know how to drive on the road properly, and that will create accidents again. This is a good move by the police but unless implemented in the entire country this will not be a success. Definitely it will be better than hiding behind trees to punish drivers as the police action should be there to reduce accidents and not to make money. Police should learn from other countries.

See how indisciplined our drivers are.
Ray Thursday, 26 November 2015 09:24 PM
despite the sarcastic comments here it was actually a relief to drive today knowing most of the vehicles were obeying the road rules. via DM iOS App

Sad to see some people do not like discipline but prefer any old how to lane driving. Very short term thinking.

This is a money spinner in other countries. Sri Lankan government too could use this system as a cash cow to bridge budget deficits.

Salute to the PoliceI saw how methodically the public followed the lane rules today morning. Police were stern. Also I think there was one passenger who had an emergency and was rushing. He was on a Black Toyota Land Cruiser V8. Two Police men in a motor cycle was guiding it and making way. they created a 5th lane on the Parliament Road and lead that vehicle up to Rajagiriya Junction. When the 4th lane was exclusively to turn to Cotta Road the two policemen on the motor bike also maneuvered the traffic got the right turning traffic to stop and made way for the sole vehicle on 5th lane to go straight on the Parliament drive. I wonder if such services are rendered free to any hurried vehicles or for a fee. I congratulate IGP and would be glad if I could have the same for a fee.
