As the season is getting closer to the end, it is often the time accidents increase.
The number of road crashes do hike up leading to great loss of lives.
In a bid to help minimize rampant accidents, more so, in this festive season, the Director of Road Safety Corps Augustine Kai Tongai, in his wisdom, has launched a swift operation on possibly removing all stationary vehicles along the highways, roads and streets.
The operation goes along with people who are deliberately refusing to move from the streets using the roads and streets as garages.
Director Tongai has made it clear that stationary vehicles have given cause for the deaths of many people, which he said, is against Road Safety Standards in the country.
Many times these stationary vehicles are parked with no triangle reflectors on them to show that there is a station vehicle.
And as a result motor drivers or motorbike riders would easily get into road crashes.
It is the responsibility of the Corps to ensure road safety alongside with the efforts of our colleagues in the Sierra Leone police Traffic Department.
The operation will continue, he said, in order to save the lives of people, adding that you may not know the lives that would involve in such accidents.
He called on people to corporate with Road Safety Corps since this operation is not a witch hunt but rather it meant to maintain road safety standards in the country.
