Easter is one of the busiest periods on Queensland roads.

Operation X-Ray Easter will run from April 4 to April 21, covering the entire school holiday period.

Superintendent Steven Newland, one of the officers in charge of the operation, told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, “We encourage people to do the right thing and use common sense on our road network, particularly at times of high risk like Easter, when we have a lot of traffic on the road.”

“We have increased risk, particularly in the current environment, where we’ve got big rain event happening at the same time and that increases the risk to everyone on the road,” Superintendent Newland said.
