During Goa’s Safety Awareness Week, the RTO and traffic police have stepped up efforts to enforce road safety, focusing on tourists using illegally rented two-wheelers with private (white) number plates. In a recent crackdown, authorities have targeted tourists violating traffic regulations, especially those overtaking on bridges and highways, creating potential safety risks.

This drive, now active in areas like Mapusa, emphasizes the legal restriction that only vehicles with yellow number plates are permitted for rentals. The initiative aims to curb illegal rentals and ensure responsible driving behavior during peak tourist season, contributing to safer roads for all.
