As part of this initiative, each Traffic Services district will be handed a list of outstanding warrants in their area – in some cases up to 1 000 – with the aim that as many as possible are executed and that these residents face the consequences of their transgressions. Metro Police will also be co-opted into operations, with each regional director having been issued a list of 100 ‘most wanted’ drivers as a challenge to see who can serve the most warrants.​

​​​​"There are a significant number of residents within our city who wilfully ignore the traffic fines they accumulate in the belief that these fines will just disappear, or that the City will not follow up. In many cases these are the same residents who think that speed limits, parking restrictions, and licensing regulations do not apply to them.

The National Road Traffic Act, which guides our laws, aims to set out what is both safe and courteous driving behaviour. If it is to be effective, this system of rules relies on conformity by all road users as it creates a set of expected behaviours which inform drivers’ decisions. It is when road users behave unexpectedly that the risk of accidents increases."​ Alderman JP SmithCity Mayoral Committee Member: Safety and Security
