Four acts were issued for violations, and 34 fines were issued. One passenger car was taken out of traffic due to a faulty noise reduction system, along with a motorcycle. Two violations for riding without a helmet were recorded—one on a motorcycle and one on a scooter. Additionally, 17 speeding violations were registered in the area.

Six quick proceedings were initiated, and 45 samples were taken for alcohol testing. Six people received summons. Police actions will continue in the future, covering key risk areas within the region.
