The 10-day operation got underway on December 24 concluding on January 3.

During that time Chifley Police conducted 2400 random breath and drug tests, resulting in five drink driving offences and a number of drug offences.

They also issued over 300 speeding tickets, which, police said was "a major worry."

"Speed is a major factor in both fatal and injury crashes, and is a significant issue within our community," said Traffic and Highway Patrol Operation Manager, Chief Inspector Simon Maund.

Among the speeding infringements issued were two at Mount Panorama; the first on December 27, when officers allegedly detected a vehicle travelling at approximately 150km/hr on Conrod Straight.

The second occurred just days after, on December 31, when police detected a Suzuki GSX-R 1300 allegedly travelling at 111 kph in a 60kph zone.

On this occasion police attempted to stop the rider, but he allegedly increased speed before being stopped near the area known as 'Caltex Chase'.

The rider, a 53-year-old man from Nambour in Queensland, was issued a $2520 penalty notice for 'Exceed Speed Limit over 45 - and his driving privileges in NSW were suspended.

Chief Inspector Simon Maund, said the alleged speeds were concerning.

He said officers were well aware of the issues Bathurst has at Mount Panorama, which is why it is an ongoing focus of highway patrol.

But his message was simple, if you flout the law, expect the consequences.

Still, despite the speeding infringements, Chief Inspector Maund said overall, police were happy with the outcome of the operation, which he said was about keeping people safe and saving lives.

"No one was killed or seriously injured in Bathurst which is excellent."

With the upcoming Australia Day long weekend approaching, he said drivers could expect to see the same level of police saturation on our roads.

"There will be a similar level of enforcement targeting drink-driving, speeding and seatbelt and helmet compliance," he said.

He said given interstate travel restrictions traffic on regional roads is expected to be heavier, and reminded people to slow down, and drive to conditions.

"With the rain the roads will be wet and slippery and at times the edge of the road is unforgiving.

"It's not like the metro area, if you leave the roads here there are trees and other hazards," he said.

He also said there were a lot of road works underway in the region, and drivers needed to be mindful of reduced speed limits in those areas, saying police will be out patrolling.

"We need drivers to me mindful of reduced speed limits and the workers who are out on the roads," he said.
