Committee calls on law enforcement agencies to do more to reduce road accident fatalities during the Easter weekend
The Gauteng Provincial Legislature’s Portfolio Committee on Community Safety urges Law Enforcement Agencies in the Province to intensify efforts to reduce road accident fatalities ahead of this year’s Easter Weekend.
Given the anticipated surge in road traffic during this festive period, characterized by religious gatherings and family travel, heightened vigilance and enforcement of road safety regulations are paramount.
Motorists are implored to adhere strictly to all traffic laws and exercise caution while traveling, embracing the crucial message of "arrive alive" and refraining from driving under the influence of alcohol.
The Committee emphasizes the collective responsibility of Gauteng residents and visitors to collaborate with Law Enforcement Agencies to ensure road safety and prevent any tragic incidents during this period.
The committee extends heartfelt wishes for a safe and peaceful Easter Weekend, particularly to the Christian Faith-Based Community observing this time of remembrance for the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
