FRSC RAISES AWARENESS ON SAFE DRIVING ACROSS IDENTIFIED CORRIDORS

The federal road safety corps (FRSC) has intensified public awareness campaigns on the need for safe, responsible and disciplined driving across nNgeria’s first six designated corridors, which experience heavy traffic flow during the festive season.

The awareness drive covers the Lagos–Ibadan–Egbeda;
Abuja city gate–airport road–Giri–Kubwa–AYA (FCT metropolis);
Abuja–Kaduna–Zaria;
Abuja–Lokoja–Zariagi;
Benin–Asaba–Awka; and
Shagamu–Ijebu Ode–ore–Benin corridors.

These routes, including about 50 other corridors serve as critical national arteries and record heightened vehicular movement as citizens travel to reunite with families and loved ones.

The corps marshal however warned that violation of traffic regulations along these corridors poses grave and far reaching dangers, as speeding, wrongful overtaking, lane indiscipline, drunk driving and disregard for traffic control devices significantly reduce reaction time and increase the severity of crashes. Such violations often result in loss of vehicle control, dangerous head on collisions, pedestrian knockdowns and multi vehicle pile ups that overwhelm emergency response efforts and leave families permanently devastated.
