The campaign is generally aimed at educating the public, especially drivers, pbadengers and pedestrians, about the need to refrain from any act that endangers their lives and those of others during the Easter period.
Ms. May Obiri-Yeboah, Executive Director of NRSC, who led a team involved in an awareness program in Cape Coast, encouraged pbadengers not to hesitate to report unruly drivers to the police.
She added that pbadengers had to make sure that drivers complied with the rules of road safety in order to reduce the number of road deaths in the region.
According to her, ensuring safety on the road was a shared and collective responsibility, and that it would be a mistake if the pbadengers did not participate in the campaign and did not play their respective roles.
Obiri-Yeboah said, "We must collectively resolve to think about safety in all our choices on the road and drive carefully knowing that the families we leave behind are counting on us for their survival."
"I encourage pbadengers not to hesitate to report misbehaving drivers on the road to the nearest police checkpoint to reduce traffic accidents," she added.
The team exchanged with pbadengers and drivers at the Tantri main bus station, as well as at the roadside, about the need to wear seat belts, to check drivers against speed and to alert motorists suspected drunk drivers before leaving.
They also distributed a variety of road safety educational materials to drivers during the four-hour exercise and warned people who steal road signs along major highways to give up this practice. "unpatriotic".
She warned that anyone found guilty of violating road safety rules, regardless of their status, would be punished for having a deterrent effect on others.
Many pbadengers who spoke to the GNA praised the campaign and called on the Commission to intensify and sustain it.
