Muscat: Almost 40 motorcycles have been confiscated in Nizwa, according to a statement by the Royal Oman Police (ROP).
“The Police Force in Al Dakhaliyah governorate in Nizwa carried out a campaign to control illegal and unlicensed motorcycles, which pose a danger to its driver and road users. The campaign resulted in the confiscation of 38 motorcycles contrary to traffic regulations,” the ROP said.
The campaign is part of police efforts for the public to comply with the traffic regulations.
“The campaign also aims to limit the practice of negative behaviours such as intimidation and disturbing sounds produced by the motor bikes, which cause inconvenience to the general comfort of citizens and residents and expose road users to traffic accidents,” the ROP stated.
