The Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA) has warned all road users against lawlessness ahead of this weekend’s N’cwala traditional ceremony in Chipata, eastern province.
RTSA Head Public Relations Frederick Mubanga is urging all road users attending the Ngoni traditional ceremony to follow all traffic rules and regulations to avoid any road crashes.
He says the agency has deployed adequate officers to ensure adherence to road traffic rules and regulations by way of conducting highway traffic patrols along the Great East Road with the aim of screening drivers for drunk driving and over speeding among others.
In a statement made available to Q-news, Mr. Mubanga says the agency is also conducting road safety education and publicity campaigns to raise public awareness on matters of road safety.
He has reaffirmed the agency’s commitment to continue conducting such activities in all parts of the country to ensure that all motorists are abreast with road safety rules and regulations in order to continue saving more lives from avoidable road traffic crashes.
