It had mounted road safety education programmes at public places such as markets, schools and churches to create the needed awareness to help protect travellers and pedestrians. She attributed the accidents to myriad of factors including; driver fatigue, speeding, use of mobile phones while driving, lack of maintenance and laxity in the enforcement of road traffic regulations. In that regard, her outfit together with other stakeholders deployed visibility personnel at strategic areas in the region to ensure road safety, control crime, and maintain law and order. They will assist all road users - motorists, travellers and pedestrians to follow road traffic laws.
