Under the measure, offenders caught committing traffic violations will receive one warning without a fine. The policy applies to traffic violations committed in the presence of an officer, excluding those with outstanding unpaid tickets. The warning will apply only to offenders who do not have outstanding unpaid traffic tickets. Offenders who have already received a warning and subsequently commit another traffic violation — whether the same offence or a different one — will be fined as usual.
