RTSA Head-Public Relations Fredrick Mubanga said road users are advised to observe all traffic rules and regulations as they engage in various activities that require them to use public roads.
mr Mubanga said the Agency has deployed adequate officers along all major roads in the country to ensure total compliance among motorists and safety for all road users.

“To prevent this, the RTSA is on high alert to ensure that road safety prevails during and after the long weekend.
“Members of the public are also implored to be proactive and make use of the RTSA Call Centre by reporting bad, careless and dangerous drivers on the toll free line,” he said.
