The National Road Safety Commission (NRSC) on Thursday appealed to road users to be cautious as they travel to their various destinations during the Easter festivities.
A statement issued in Accra by Mr Kwame Atuahene, Information Manager of NRSC, said road clashes increased during the season due to high mobility resulting in a number of fatalities.
It said the NRSC with the support of the Driver Vehicle and Licensing Authority; Motor, Traffic and Traffic Union of the Ghana Police Service and transport operators, would intensify their outreach programmes to road users and carry out spot checks.
"The police will be highly visible on the roads to check and punish traffic violations," the statement said.
It advised all road users especially those using the Kwahu corridor to observe all road traffic regulations, roads signs and markings, avoid drank driving, overloading, over-speeding and careless manoeuvres and plan their trips.
"It is our expectation that if we (Ghanaians) observe best road practice, there will be a peaceful and accident-free Easter celebration," it
said.
Road safety, the statement said: "Is a collective responsibility."
