OPERATION Amity kicked off on Thursday with an increase in the visibility of police who are enforcing across major roads and highways in Victoria in an effort to reduce road trauma over the Australia Day long weekend.

Police are warning motorists to prepare for a busy period especially with the return of school next week and are cautioning all road users to prepare for an influx of traffic as many Victorians hit the road for the last long weekend of the January holiday period.
