Perak: Perak's Road Transport Department (JPJ) will closely monitor 34 black spots (high-risk road locations with a history of frequent, serious accidents) across the state under a special operation for Hari Raya Aidilfitri (HRA) 2026, running from today until March 29. Perak JPJ director Mohammad Yusoff Abustan said the 34 sites fall within seven enforcement corridors, covering Kinta, Manjung, Larut Matang and Selama, Hulu Perak (Gerik), Hilir Perak (Teluk Intan), Batang Padang (Tapah), and Kuala Kangsar.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the 34-duty-point deployment allows officers to conduct patrols and snap checks to maintain high compliance among road users. Mohammad Yusoff stated, 'Our officers will patrol between duty points at about 70 km/h, monitoring traffic and stopping vehicles that break the rules. This approach keeps our officers visible on the ground and increases the perception of being caught among road users,' during a press conference following a traffic operation on Jalan Sultan Idris Shah today.

Mohammad Yusoff mentioned that 244 Perak JPJ officers have been deployed to ensure full monitoring and enforcement statewide, adding that they will focus on major traffic offences that often cause accidents, namely speeding, running red lights, crossing double lines, driving in emergency lanes, not wearing seatbelts or helmets, cutting queues, using mobile phones while driving, overloading, and carrying dangerous cargo. He also emphasized that stricter enforcement will focus on public and commercial vehicles, checking that transport companies comply with licence rules and service standards.

He further explained that Perak JPJ conducted bus depot inspections from March 13 to 15 to ensure express and other public buses were safe and met all technical standards ahead of the Aidilfitri operation. Additionally, special operations targeting motorcyclists on high-risk routes will be carried out, as they continue to account for a high number of fatal accidents each year.
