Authorities in Ciudad Juárez have implemented various measures to maintain public order and road safety. In mid-October 2026, the General Coordination of Road Safety reported the detention of 55 drivers for operating vehicles under the influence of alcohol within a single week. Of these individuals, five were involved in vehicular accidents, while 50 were identified during routine surveillance.

Following these enforcement actions, the Municipal Public Security Secretariat (SSPM) launched a prevention scheme focused on safety during Halloween festivities. This initiative provided specific guidelines for pedestrians and families to protect minors, such as walking in groups and avoiding deserted streets. Additionally, motorists were warned against driving in masks or costumes that could restrict vision and cause accidents.
