Traffic Police are Violating the Traffic Rules
According to decree law No.06/2003 of the road code, article 76 specifically states that motorists and drivers are to use safety devices whilst driving a motorbike or car on public roads. Drivers need to use seat belts and motorists are required to use helmets.
In addition to this the organic law of the National Police of Timor-Leste (PNTL), article 19, regulates the service of the traffic department and the roadway safety, particularly how the traffic’s department conducts its activities to support road safety. As it is explained on line c; that the role of the Traffic Police is to develop road safety procedures and educate citizens to respect the road rules.
This however is not reflected in reality; according to Fundasaun Mahein’s (FM) monitoring, members of the traffic police are themselves violating the traffic laws, while riding motorbikes and driving cars on public roads.

FM has gathered cases stretching from May to June where member of the traffic police have violated the traffic rules by not using helmet while riding motorbikes for work and wearing the PNTL institution uniforms.
In addition to this Members of the Traffic Police have also been observed on many occasions driving their vehicles at a high speed, this is especially the case in Dili. This has had many consequences but none more tragic than the fatal accident that occurred in late May when a member of traffic police drove into a motorbike in the Comoro area due to the high speed he was driving at. Needless to say this accident occurred because of the officers reckless driving that also violated the road code, chapter III article 25 that states the need to reduce one’s speed whilst turning a corner.

FM has also noted that some members of police ride their motorbikes using race mufflers on their exhausts or even use their sirens while driving in non-emergency situations. The arbitrary and high handed manner in which the Traffic Police is conducting itself is incurring the dissatisfaction of the people and is causing concern about the professionalism of the Traffic Polices’ service. These failures need a concrete act by the PNTL General Command or the Traffic Department in order to regain the public’s trust that has been damaged by these recent incidents.
Regarding these incidents, a question comes to mind; do the traffic polices understand the traffic rules or not, if so why then do they violate it?
This undisciplined attitude from the Traffic Police officers is slowly eroding the public trust in this institution, trust which this public institute needs to maintain order on the streets. It is imperative that the PNTL General Command institute changes to halt these growing trends.
Therefore, FM recommends that:
1. The PNTL General Command to finds an adequate disciplinary mechanism against members of the traffic police who are still violating the laws and the legal procedure of this institution
2. That civil society continues to keep the PNTL institution under close scrutiny, particularly in the service of the Traffic Police department, to ensure the professionalism and performance of this institution is maintained.
