Across the four days of long weekend high visibility operations Port Stephens police, including highway patrol and general duties officers, handed out 52 speeding fines.

"The behaviour of motorists over the long weekend was good," Inspector Guy Flaherty of Port Stephens police said.

"However, the issue of infringement notices shows despite the high profile policing by both general duties and highway and traffic patrol officers, motorists are continuing to commit speeding offences.

"Again, we warn motorists that police will be out in force for the rest of the school holidays and for Operation Go Slow."

As part of Operation Tortoise, which ran between midnight Thursday, April 17, and Monday, police conducted more than 2000 random and roadside breath tests.

Police handed out 37 other infringements to do with seat belt offences, failing to produce a licence and not giving way, one drug driving and four drink driving infringements.

Police will now take part in Operation Go Slow, the annual holiday traffic campaign, plus patrol and enforcement operations across the Port for Anzac Day.

Double demerits will apply between now and midnight on Sunday.

Inspector Flaherty warned people taking part in Anzac Day commemorations that officers would be actively patrolling roads and licensed premises on Friday, particularly where Two-Up would be played.

"Not only will police be patrolling the area, but supporting a number of marches in Nelson Bay, Raymond Terrace, Clarence Town, Dungog and Tea Gardens."

Inspector Flaherty stressed the importance of respect on Anzac Day and said violence and anti-social behaviour would not be tolerated.
