Traffic police were seen on busy intersections including Karwan Bazar, Khamarbari, Farmgate, in various spots on Mirpur Road and Dhanmondi-3.
They were working in tandem with students, who have been performing the duties of traffic police since Sheikh Hasina resigned as prime minister amid a mass uprising on August 5.
Employees of police administration announced a work abstention from August 6 to press for a number of demands following clashes between protesters and police during the anti-quota movement.
Police presence on streets had been thinning since before that date.
They are set to report to their stations today.
