Additionally, the RTSA through the Director, Mr. Zindaba Soko, and last week launched the annual National Festive Season Road Safety Campaign as means of intensifying traffic law enforcement and road safety publicity and education campaigns across the country.
As means of maintain the positive outlook for the road safety prospects which has seen the country record a relative reduction of road accident fatalities for the period January to September, 2018 compared to the same period last year, the Agency will continue putting in place measure to reduce the numbers of road traffic and fatalities to minimal levels.
As we know, the festive season is characterised by increased volumes of road users and the RTSA has therefore, put in place measures that draw strength from a strong collection of law enforcement agencies such as the RTSA and the Zambia Police traffic section including all stakeholder parties to ensure adequate numbers of traffic officers on the roads, checking compliance and bringing to book those who endanger the lives of other road users with their recklessness and negligence.
