Top 5 Traffic Violations Recorded Today
Driving without a license topped the list of the most frequent violations, followed closely by exceeding the speed limit on highways and main arteries. Random parking violations also featured prominently. Talking on a mobile phone while driving — a dangerous habit that endangers everyone — made the list, alongside violations of licensing conditions. That include failing to meet required technical specifications. These violations were not confined to a single road but were recorded across different governorates.
776 Drivers Tested, 27 Drug Cases Confirmed
The campaigns went beyond traditional violations. A total of 776 drivers were tested in various operations, with 27 cases testing positive for drug use. This figure — though a small percentage of those tested — reveals the persistent issue of driving under the influence on Egyptian roads. Legal measures were taken against all apprehended cases.
492 Violations on the Regional Ring Road
On the Regional Ring Road, the Interior Ministry continued its traffic and security campaigns in work zones. Within 24 hours, 492 violations were recorded, including passenger overload, licensing breaches, and safety and durability violations. These numbers highlight the intensified monitoring on highways that see heavy traffic around the clock.

Drivers must comply with the law.
