A traffic crackdown in central George Town this week led to citations being given to 12 drivers for various offenses.
According to the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service, prosecutions were for offenses like unlicensed vehicles, driving without insurance, and failure to wear a seat belt.
The RCIPS began the stepped up traffic enforcement effort last week, specifically seeking to target drivers with unsafe cargo in their vehicles.
Statistics produced by the RCIPS earlier in the year showed a sharp drop in traffic citations being issued.
On the back of a six-year decline in the number of traffic citations issued, Cayman Islands traffic enforcement numbers dropped even lower during the first half of 2014.
According to figures released in late July by the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service, the number of traffic offenses declined by a third during the first six months of this year compared to the same period in 2013.
The figures show a 34 percent drop in DUI citations, from 112 to 74; a 41 percent decline in tickets for driving while using a cellphone (from 653 to 388); a 46 percent drop in speeding tickets (from 497 to 269); and a 68 percent drop in citations for seat belt violation, (from 330 to 105).
