Traffic rules violators will be made aware of the fines and punishment under the new Road Transport Act, 2018 during the first seven days since it was in forced on November 1.
“No fines will be imposed on the first week. Rather, people will be made aware of the law,” Dhaka Metropolitan Police Commissioner Shafiqul Islam told reporters during a briefing.
The DMP commissioner also expressed hope that the fear of being penalised and stricter rules would improve discipline on the roads.
