Johannesburg - Forty-eight motorists were arrested after they were caught driving on the wrong side of the road in Dunkeld on Wednesday morning, Johannesburg metro police said.
Spokesperson Wayne Minnaar said the operation followed the JMPD's getting a complaint about taxis driving on the wrong side of the road at the intersection of Jan Smuts Avenue and Bompas Road.
"Of these arrests only five were (drivers of) taxis," said Minnaar.
Another 19 were women drivers, including the daughter of the complainant.
The arrests were made between 06:00 and 09:00. The motorists were released on free bail and would appear in the Hillbrow Magistrate's Court on Thursday.
"All motorists are expected to obey the rules of the road as JMPD is going to intensify law enforcement in an effort to reduce accidents."
