The new traffic regulations, effective June 30th, mark the fourth change in three years, introducing five minor offenses that citizens can report. However, eight offenses, including various illegal parking violations, cannot be reported, leading to criticism that efforts to improve traffic conditions may have been abandoned. The latest changes allow for reporting offenses such as pedestrians not wearing helmets and jaywalking, while offenses like using a mobile phone while driving and parking violations at bus stops are not open for reporting. Police will need to verify the driver's identity on-site for point penalties, with technology-based enforcement and citizen reports not resulting in point penalties.
