Bone Bolango Regency Police have been carrying out repressive actions such as education and legal action; However, due to a number of obstacles experienced by the Bone Bolango Police, no legal action can be taken until the trial, which only requires making a case report. Both the internal and external operational environment of the traffic police are some of the challenges faced by the Bone Bolango Police.

One of the internal problems faced by the traffic police is this problem. Public ignorance of laws and regulations related to damaged roads and lack of community involvement in reporting damaged roads are two examples of external variables handled by the Traffic Police. Apart from that, there is ambiguity in Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Transport and Traffic.
