The paper lists the three basic tenets of traffic policing and then sets about listing the various methods of implementing the enforcement part of this trilogy. It then sets out the preliminary considerations required in the strategic or tactical implementation of an enforcement program. Various methods of enforcement related to the differing problems encountered by police are then dealt with in detail commenting on the police perception of the methods and the most appropriate uses for each of these methods. Where studies have been undertaken in respect to the methods, references are given. However, as most enforcement studies have set out to measure the effects of a program and do not look at the options open to police, this paper sets out to illustrate briefly the police perception of the options available. It is a personal account based on the long experience of the author (A).
