The Anambra State Road Traffic Management Agency (ARTMA), in a video released on June 20 via its official Facebook page, has conducted a road sign recognition and familiarisation exercise aimed at improving compliance with traffic regulations, strengthening road safety awareness among motorists and other road users across the state.
The training focused on practical identification and correct interpretation of standard traffic signs, with the goal of addressing recurring violations linked to poor understanding of road signage.
Officials of the agency explained that the initiative is part of broader efforts to reduce road traffic crashes, ease congestion and promote orderly and disciplined road use in both urban and semi-urban areas.
Participants were guided through the major categories of road signs regulatory, warning and informatory with emphasis on their meanings and how they apply in real life driving situations at intersections and along major highways.
The agency observed that many preventable traffic offences arise from ignorance or disregard of road signs, stressing the need for continuous public enlightenment to improve compliance, ensuring safer roads.
ARTMA also urged commercial drivers, private motorists, and transport operators to remain attentive to road signals and strictly observe traffic rules, noting that adherence is vital to reducing accidents and saving lives.
The agency added that the exercise will be sustained through regular sensitisation programmes, particularly targeting new drivers and transport stakeholders across Anambra State.
