These operational resources will ensure a visible presence and swift response to any traffic distress.
Motorists Urged to Adhere to Traffic Rules for a Smooth Journey
As part of their public enlightenment campaign, the FRSC has emphasized the importance of motorists adhering to traffic rules and regulations.
Motorists planning to travel during this period are advised to plan their journeys in advance, ensure their vehicles are in good condition through regular servicing, and pay special attention to construction zones where traffic may be diverted.
CC IBRAHIM, the FRSC Ogun Ag Sector Commander, has appealed to motorists to exhibit responsible driving behavior, considering the safety of other road users and obeying traffic rules.
It is crucial for all motorists to understand that any violation of traffic rules may be treated as dangerous driving and could lead to prosecution.

Additionally, the National Traffic Radio 107.1 FM Abuja will broadcast traffic information, which can also be streamed online for convenience.
