The Anambra State Road Traffic Management Agency (ARTMA) has issued a public notice to all bus drivers and tricycle riders (Keke) operating on Upper-Iweka-Owerri road and across the entire state to henceforth comply with stipulated traffic rules and regulations to avoid impoundment and other penalties for defaulters as the festive season approaches.
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of ARTMA, Engr. Okonkwo Emeka-Konti, who read the riot act to all transporters in the state, said as the festive season sets in, transporters must play by the rules to ensure sanity and orderliness on the roads as strict sanctions would be unleashed on erring motorists.
The riot act as signed by the ARTMA MD reads: “This is to inform all commercial bus drivers and tricycle operators plying the Upper Iweka – Owerri Road and across the state that, with immediate effect, the following regulations are now in full enforcement: Use of Designated Parks Only. All bus drivers must henceforth load and offload passengers only at approved and designated parks.
“No section of the road is to be used as a motor park under any circumstance.
“Compliance by Transport Companies: All transport companies operating along this axis must ensure that their vehicles load behind proper barricades, safely positioned behind the drainage.
“Any vehicle found loading on or directly beside the drainage will be impounded.
“Guidelines for Tricycle (Keke) Riders: Keke riders are permitted to pick and drop passengers only when properly parked on the road shoulder.
“Any attempt to convert any part of the roadway into a park or permanent loading point will lead to immediate enforcement action.
“Festive Season Traffic Management: As the festive season approaches, the Owerri Road remains a major gateway into the state. It must remain free-flowing and decongested at all times.
“Penalties for Violators: Any bus or tricycle found violating these directives will be impounded for seven (7) days. There will be no option of fine.”
