Extra police will be patrolling roads and highways throughout NSW targeting excessive speed, alcohol and drug driving, fatigue and distracted driving.
Double demerits don't apply in Victoria but assistant commissioner Glenn Weir said police would be patrolling across the weekend.
"As always, police will be highly visible and enforcing across the King's Birthday long weekend," he said.
NSW Police minister Yasmin Catley said officers on patrol would be taking a "zero tolerance approach".
"We don't want to see dangerous behaviour on our roads. We all have a responsibility every time we get behind the wheel of a vehicle," she said.
"Don't speed, don't drink, or take drugs and drive, and don't use your mobile phone while driving."
When will double demerits apply?
'Operation King's Birthday 2024' operates for four days over the long weekend and will target all roads across NSW.
Double demerits apply from 12.01am on June 7 until 11.59pm on June 10, police said.
In Victoria, police are targeting dangerous drivers under Operation Regal over the same period.
Assistant commissioner Brett McFadden said the holiday was "traditionally one of the busiest on our roads, which causes us great concern".
He said it was "not just the responsibility of police to ensure road safety is enforced," urging passengers to call out the bad behaviour of drivers.
"You may not only save your own life, but someone else's too. It's up to all of us to do better," he said.
What offences attract double demerits?
Double demerits will be in place for all speeding, seatbelt, motorcycle helmet and mobile phone offences across the long weekend.
This comes after 158 people died on NSW roads and 121 died on Victorian roads by June 5, 2024.
During the King's Birthday long weekend in 2023, while double demerits applied, 13 people died in NSW due to road accident trauma.
Transport for NSW Centre for Road Safety chief Bernard Carlon warned that wet weather this year could increase the danger on our roads.
He said "we are expecting rain across some parts of the state over the weekend and roads may be slippery, which means it takes longer to stop in wet weather."
"Make sure you adjust your speed down, keep a safe gap from the vehicle in front, use your lights in rainy conditions, and never drive through floodwater."
Members of the public are urged to report motorists engaged in dangerous driving to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
