Police Issue Hundreds of Tickets in Traffic Enforcement Operation

Traffic police in the Yarkon region conducted a week-long enforcement operation targeting dangerous traffic violations and "road rage" incidents. The operation, which included both visible and undercover enforcement and the use of tactical cameras, resulted in 376 traffic tickets being issued and 56 micro-mobility vehicles being confiscated. Enforcement focused on major routes in the area. On Rokach Boulevard, officers addressed violations such as impeding the right of way, driving on dividing strips, and failing to obey lane markings. On Moshe Sneh and HaHashmonaim streets, the focus was on mobile phone use while driving. At the Rokach-Shtrit intersection, red light violations were enforced, and at the Yigal Allon-HaShalom intersection, citations were issued for blocking intersections.

Among the tickets issued, 84 were for dangerous overtaking and road rage, 80 for micro-mobility riding offenses, 57 for using a mobile phone while driving, 41 for failure to yield the right of way, and 20 for running red lights. During the operation, on November 9, a 52-year-old motorcyclist from Bnei Brak was arrested on Rokach Boulevard on suspicion of drunk driving. A breathalyzer test revealed 598 micrograms of alcohol per liter of exhaled air. He was handed over to traffic investigators and faces an indictment. In another incident on November 11, a 43-year-old resident of Herzliya was arrested on suspicion of riding a motorcycle while his license was suspended by court order. The suspect evaded police at a checkpoint but was located and arrested shortly after, still driving while suspended. He was also transferred to traffic investigators and is expected to be indicted.
