With the Easter long weekend seeing high traffic volumes across the region, police again reminded drivers to exercise caution while driving.
On Thursday, Chief Inspector Glenn Cogdell, from Chifley Police District, reminded drivers a high visibility police operation was underway as police target the state's road toll.
The annual operation kicked off at 12.01am Thursday and continues to run over the Easter break, finishing at 11.59pm on Monday.
During the operation, he said drivers can expect to see a high police presence on all roads. Double demerit points are also in place.
Chief Inspector Cogdell said the campaign aims "to heighten public awareness to the associated factors related to road trauma".
"It's about highlighting the dangers of speeding, drink or drug driving and fatigue; the need to ensure all occupants are properly restrained and to ensure drivers are not distracted," he said.
