NSW Police will enforce double demerits from this Wednesday (September 21) ahead of the national day of mourning for Queen Elizabeth II.
Double-demerit points will apply from 12.01am tomorrow and run until 11.59pm on September 25 for speeding, seatbelt, mobile phone and motorcycle helmet offences.
Additional police will be deployed across the state as they patrol metropolitan and regional areas, also targeting other high-risk driver behaviour, including drink, drug, dangerous and distracted driving.
School zones will still be in operation this Wednesday and Friday and 40km/h zones will be in effect between 8am to 9.30am and 2.30pm to 4pm.
Double-demerit points will also apply to motorists detected breaching the speed limits and illegally using mobile phones in school zones. Police will also be targeting double-parking or stopping and/or parking in designated no stopping or no parking areas.
There are currently no announced plans to enforce double demerits in the ACT.
