FRSC unit Commander, J. A. Omoleye, stated that total disregard to traffic rules and regulations have continued to bring about frequent traffic crashes.
He said the violation ranges from human, mechanical and environmental factors that include over speeding, over confidence, lack of confidence, fatigue, driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs, poor maintenance, improper parking as well as lack of concentration, among others.
“To guarantee safety on our roads, drivers must adhere strictly to the laid down rules on road usage. They must heed warning signs, information signs and other road markings that are critical to free vehicular movements at all times,” he added.
He said as traffic volumes increase, highways rely mostly on road markings and traffic signals which complement the rules of the road, adding that failure by drivers to recognize road signs, always leads to disorderliness and conflicts on the road.
Our reporters gathered from research that road traffic violation is said to be on the increase, right from 1970 to the early 80s, when the nation depended mostly on road transportation system as a means of conveying economic goods from one place to another across the country.
