The Volta Regional Directorate of the National Road Safety Authority (NRSA) has organised a day’s intensive training on regulatory directives, for high occupancy passenger operators in the Ho Municipality.
Mr Kwasi Tsibu Yirenkyi, Volta Regional Director of NRSA, said the regulatory directives were aimed at maintaining safety and reducing crashes on the road to its barest minimum.
The directives include enforcement and implementation of Regulation 118 of Road Traffic Regulations 2012 (L.I.2180), which requires that drivers of commercial vehicles take a mandatory rest of 30 minutes after a continuous period exceeding four hours.
Or eight hours of rest after an aggregate of more than eight hours in a period of twenty-four hours or 500 kilometres whichever comes first.
