Anambra State Road Traffic Management Agency (ARTMA) has advised drivers to adhere strictly to designated routes to avoid endangering lives.
The agency, in an ARTMA Report
of Sunday, 30th June, 2024, titled, 'Notice to All Road Users and Drivers in
Anambra State,' frowned at the activities of road users who drive against
traffic (one-way), adding that it has deployed a special team to curb the
trend.
"Driving against traffic
(one-way) is tantamount to endangering lives. The risks involved can not be
overstated.
"The agency has observed a
disturbing trend, particularly in Onitsha, where drivers, including heavy-duty
trucks, disregard traffic rules after 6 pm. This irresponsible behaviour has
resulted in numerous accidents and fatalities.
"ARTMA officers are
tirelessly working around the clock to maintain smooth traffic flow, thereby
eliminating the need for such hazardous actions.
"Drivers are strongly
advised to adhere strictly to designated routes at all times. ARTMA has
deployed a specialized team dedicated to curbing this life-threatening
recklessness from 6 pm onwards," the report reads.
