She also says each traffic officer will be expected to stop and check a minimum of 15 vehicles per eight-hour shift as part of the campaign.
Meanwhile, traffic authorities country-wide are bracing themselves for a busy weekend as in-land schools close today.

"Operation clean sweep started shortly after the festive season campaign. Provincial traffic, together with metropolitan officers around the country have embarked on this campaign looking at various public, passenger and freight transport vehicles," he said.
Ishmail said traffic officers are looking at issues of "vehicle defects, driver fitness and also documentation."
