Taipei, Taiwan – February 22, 2026
As the new legislative session of the Legislative Yuan is set to convene on February 24, the Executive Yuan has submitted its latest administrative report to lawmakers, detailing intensified traffic enforcement efforts and public safety measures nationwide.
According to the report, the Ministry of the Interior has assisted local governments in installing “technology enforcement” systems at key intersections to strengthen road safety. Enforcement has focused on drivers failing to yield to pedestrians and running red lights. Between July and November 2025, authorities recorded a total of 627,906 traffic violations under these initiatives.
To enhance pedestrian safety, police agencies nationwide were instructed to prioritize several key enforcement areas. From July to November last year, officers cited 53,641 cases of motorists failing to yield to pedestrians at intersections, 12,845 violations at non-signalized intersections for failing to stop as required, 403,591 instances of illegal parking on sidewalks, and 36,821 cases involving road obstructions. These totaled 506,898 violations in pedestrian-related enforcement categories alone.
In addition, from July to November 2025, authorities recorded 1,541,795 violations involving nine major traffic offenses, including running red lights and severe speeding. Police also handled 24,416 drunk driving cases during the same period, with 13,963 offenders referred for prosecution. Authorities further traced 2,934 drinking establishments linked to offenders in order to identify high-risk drinking hotspots and prevent repeat incidents.
The report emphasized that to improve the effectiveness of speed camera enforcement, the Ministry of the Interior has required police agencies to regularly review and adjust existing speed camera locations. Authorities are also drafting clearer guidelines on the installation and adjustment of speed cameras to strengthen the legal framework.
Beyond traffic enforcement, the government highlighted progress in strengthening the social safety network. From July to November last year, police handled 1,177 stalking and harassment cases. More than 80 percent of offenders did not reoffend after receiving written warnings from authorities. Repeat offenders were referred for prosecution under anti-stalking laws, and victims were assisted in applying for protection orders to prevent further harm.
As of the end of November 2025, police agencies were supervising 7,076 registered sexual assault offenders required to report regularly. Of those, 7,016 had completed registration procedures, resulting in a compliance rate of 99.15 percent.
The new legislative session is expected to review the administration’s performance and proposed measures as lawmakers reconvene this week.
