Authorities in Saltillo, Mexico, have seized 1,300 motorcycles so far this year as part of an ongoing strategy to improve road safety and prevent accidents. Commissioner of Security and Citizen Protection, Miguel Ángel Garza Félix, reported that seizures are driven by violations such as riding without helmets, lacking license plates, or failing to provide documentation for fine payments.

Security forces are utilizing neighborhood filters and nighttime checkpoints on major thoroughfares to target motorcyclists who run red lights, perform stunts, or disturb public order. Recent enforcement actions resulted in the detention of 13 motorcyclists for disturbing the peace. Officials noted that the current year’s seizure total is expected to exceed last year’s figure of 1,388 motorcycles.
