Police issue warning to Londoners to remain vigilant on the roads.

Officers from the Met's Roads and Transport Policing Command conducted Operation Safeway during 15 - 19 December.

They were present during rush-hour to enforce the rules of the road, and give out safety advice across busy London roads.

In that time more than 1,000 fixed penalty notices were issues for various driving offences.

These included 56 vehicles seized for no insurance or driving driving license, and 25 arrests for a variety or crime and traffic related offences.

Superintendent Robert Revill, of the Met's safer transport command, said: "The aim of Operation Safeway is to reduce the number of people who die or are injured on London's roads each year.

"Every road death is a needless tragedy that is devastating for the victim's friends and family. Every serious injury is life-changing and distressing.

"These targeted operations began last year and have been hugely effective at raising awareness of road safety among motorists and cyclists, providing a balanced operation which reminds everyone of their duty to take care of each other while out on the roads."

Launched in November last year, the operation is in response to the high number of deaths of cyclists and pedestrians on London roads.

Twice a month Met officers patrol key junctions across the city.
