More traffic is expected in the area over the coming days, in particular the Pacific Highway.
Manning Great Lakes Police District chief inspector Paul Fuller said officers are committed to Operation Merret; an unorthodox and proactive approach to road policing that is aimed at educating and empowering the public to make the right decisions on the roads.
"We will continue to target at risk drivers and adverse driver behaviour with police enforcing the road rules and conducting random breath and drug testing.
"Manning Great Lakes Police District are committed to safer journeys and appeal to all road users to share that responsibility with us.
"We want to work together to end this tragic, and often avoidable, loss of life on the state’s roads. Let’s all slow down, not drink or take drugs and drive, ignore the mobile phone, buckle up, take frequent rests and watch out for each other.
"This is a plea to every road user to do the right thing and return home safely to their families,” Chief Inspector Fuller said.
More than 100 lives have been lost on NSW roads so far this year.
