Minister for Police and Minister for Corrective Services the Honourable Mark Ryan MP and Aspley MP Bart Mellish joined Commissioner Ian Stewart and other emergency services today to mark the start of the Queensland Police Service’s Easter Road Safety campaign.
From today until April 26, the QPS will coordinate a state-wide traffic policing operation designed to reduce the number of serious injuries, fatal traffic crashes and road related crime.
This operation coincides with the Easter school holidays and a period in which there is an increase in vehicles using Queensland roads.
The Easter Road Safety Campaign will include strategies such as a highly visible police presence on highways and roads, targeted operations at locations where an increase in road users is likely and static and mobile roadside driver testing regarding alcohol and/or drugs with a focus on locations more likely to be carrying high volumes of road users.

Keep up with the rules!
Over the past few months you would have noticed a steady rise in the number of people taking advantage of personal mobility devices such as e-scooters.
While rideables make it easier to travel around the Brisbane CBD and surrounding suburbs, it is important to remember that you must comply with Queensland Government rules when using mobility devices.
The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) has launched a new Rideable Rules campaign to educate the community about their responsibilities when using a mobility device.
The main rules to keep in mind are:

Not carry passengers
Not use a mobile device
Not drink and ride
Have a working flashing or steady white light on the front, and a red light and reflector at
