Abstract
The police enforcement of traffic violations in The Netherlands is discussed. Strategies of enforcement are described with respect to four spearheads of national road safety policy: drinking and driving, speeding, seat belt use and young moped riders. Each strategy constitutes a set of recommendations that describes an exemplary type of enforcement operation. The barriers encountered in practice when implementing these strategies are discussed and keys to successful police enforcement are outlined.
