Crackdown on Modified Vehicles in Taoyuan's Guishan District: Noise and Speed Violations Targeted

Police in Guishan, Taoyuan, partner with environmental authorities to enforce regulations against noisy and speeding vehicles, ensuring public safety and peace.

The Taoyuan City Police Department's Guishan Precinct recently conducted a two-day joint operation with the Environmental Protection Bureau to crack down on vehicles with modified exhaust systems, primarily targeting noise violations and speeding in the Guishan District of Taoyuan, Taiwan.

The operation focused on key areas including Wanshou Road and Zhongyi Road, with additional mobile patrols along Changshou Road, Ziqiang South Road, and Datong Road. Over the two-day period, a total of 40 automobiles and motorcycles were inspected. The Environmental Protection Bureau issued fines to 15 vehicles that failed noise level tests, ordering them to make necessary improvements within a specified timeframe, in accordance with the Noise Control Act.

Recognizing the frequent link between modified vehicles and speeding, the police also deployed officers to monitor speed violations on Wanshou Road and Zhongyi Road. This resulted in 12 citations for severe speeding and an additional 30 for general speeding violations. The intensified enforcement has successfully curbed the disruptive behavior of modified vehicles, thus upholding traffic order and enhancing community tranquility.

Guishan Precinct Chief Zhang Heqiong emphasized that modified vehicles not only cause disturbances but also jeopardize public safety. The precinct will continue to collaborate with the Environmental Protection Bureau to conduct regular inspections and strictly enforce regulations. He also urged the public to refrain from unauthorized modifications to vehicle components, contributing to a safer and more peaceful living environment in Taiwan.
