A two-week traffic enforcement push in Taoyuan's Yangmei district cut crashes and injuries, good news for local road users.

• Police ran a special anti-accident operation from August 10 to 21, targeting the times and spots where crashes happen most.
• Tickets for serious violations jumped by 708 compared to the same period last year.
• Accidents fell by 31 and injuries dropped by 49 over the same stretch.
• The focus was drunk and drugged driving, running red lights, driving the wrong way, not yielding to pedestrians, and heavy speeding.

Outlook: Police say they will keep up the crackdown on the violations that cause the most crashes.
