With significant reports of traffic mishaps in Anambra State over the past year attributed to overspeeding, the Anambra State Sector Commander of Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, Mr Adeoye Irelewuyi, says the Command will remodel its approach to checkmating speed violation on Anambra roads.

Mr Irelewuyi who disclosed this while discussing preparations of the Command for 2022, said that monitoring would be raised on the installation of speed limiting devices on commercial vehicles while radar guns would also be deployed to detect vehicles running above the prescribed speed.

The Anambra FRSC boss also said that a new approach would be adopted monitor minimum safety standards, especially for heavy duty trucks and articulated lorries, with heavy sanctions awaiting defaulting drivers.

He said that though the Command had its fair share of setbacks last year, which affected both enforcement and relationship with the public, strategic collaboration with other agencies helped it to achieve massive results climaxing onto the end of 2021.

While anticipating effecient result delivery within the second quarter of 2022, Mr Irelewuyi said that he looked forward to crash-reduced Anambra roads and downward turn in traffic-related fatalities.

He sought the cooperation of all road users, remarking that achieving traffic excellence is a collective ambition of both the FRSC and the general public.
