The FRSC has taken a proactive approach to address these concerns by launching a comprehensive campaign aimed at reducing road accidents and fatalities. ### The Urgency of Road Safety
- The ’ember’ months, spanning from October to December, are notorious for an increase in road accidents due to factors such as poor visibility, reckless driving, and inadequate road infrastructure. * The FRSC’s campaign is timely, as statistics show a significant rise in road fatalities during this period.
The Importance of Speed Limits
Speed limits are not arbitrary numbers; they are carefully calculated to ensure the safety of all road users. By adhering to these limits, drivers can significantly reduce the risk of accidents.
The Human Element in Road Safety
Road safety is a complex issue that extends beyond the mere presence of traffic rules and regulations. It encompasses a wide range of factors, including vehicle maintenance, infrastructure quality, and, crucially, the human element. Commander Akinbiyi, a seasoned authority in traffic management, emphasizes that the foundation of road safety lies in the psychological well-being and responsible behavior of drivers and pedestrians alike. * Psychological Balance: The mental state of road users plays a pivotal role in preventing accidents.
