The Kpeshie Divisional Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) at Nungua in Accra has stepped up efforts to sensitise and educate motorists and pedestrians on road traffic regulations to ensure an accident-free festive season at Teshie, Nungua and surrounding communities.
The MTTD command has also increased police visibility on the main Teshie-Nungua-Tema beach road and other busy routes within the area to enforce the law and forestall vehicular congestion.
In line with its sensitisation agenda, the MTTD command in collaboration with the National Road Safety Authority (NRSA) has since Thursday been visiting some bus terminals and streets within Teshie and Nungua to educate drivers and pedestrians on safety issues.
