Adjust font size:

With 31 days until the Olympics, the city's police have completed handling of all 193 potential road safety threats in the capital.

The police were doing their utmost to prevent major road accidents and keep the roads running safely and smoothly for the Games, Wang Jinbiao, a senior official with the Ministry of Public Security, told reporters on Tuesday.

Wang said police throughout China found 15,598 potential road safety problems in the first half of the year and 3,871 had been repaired.

The ministry urged local police to be alert to the roads in their jurisdictions to provide a safe environment during the Aug. 8-24 Games.

In the second half of the year, police will crack down on overloading, speeding and fatigued drivers. Vehicles carrying hazardous substances and school buses would get extra attention, Wang said.
