Operation Safe Arrival, Tasmania Police's annual festive season road safety initiative, will begin on Monday and run statewide.
Assistant Commissioner Adrian Bodnar said this year's operation will continue to be supported by the 'We're looking out for you' advertising campaign.
"This campaign, featuring real Tasmania Police officers, highlights the enforcement efforts that will be in place throughout the holiday period," he said.
"Our primary focus remains on targeting dangerous behaviours such as speeding, mobile phone use, and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs."
"We will deploy both high-visibility and covert patrols on highways and main roads, as well as covering other routes, back streets, and rural areas."
"If you're not monitoring your speed, police will be."
"When you're distracted from the road, police won't be."
"There will be random alcohol and drug testing operations, and speed detection devices used across the state."
Assistant Commissioner Bodnar reiterated that the campaign tagline serves as both a warning and a reminder.
"Traffic offenders should be aware that police will be 'looking out' for you while we're on patrol across the state," he said.
"More importantly, it's a caring reminder that these enforcement efforts are about protecting our community and ensuring the safety of all road users."
"You can help us keep everyone safe this holiday season by obeying the road rules, ensuring your loved ones do the same, and reporting any dangerous behaviour you see on our roads."
