Beijing announced on Friday that it will start a two-month traffic safety campaign to clamp down on speeders and drink-drivers starting from the beginning of August, CRI writes.

During the campaign, the police will step up traffic enforcement on 14 city highways in the Olympic host city, according to Beijing Traffic Management Bureau spokesman Zhang Jingchun.

The campaign, which will run until the end of September, will focus on speeding, drink-driving, overloading, non-use of seat-belts, illegal parking near toll gates and driver fatigue, CRI says.

The bureau also unveiled emergency traffic control plans for exceptional road conditions during the Olympic Games.
