The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has issued six road safety directives ahead of the Easter celebrations, days after fatal crashes.

In a notice on Monday, April 7, the authority urged motorists to adhere to six measures to ensure a safe Easter holiday for all.

At the top of the list, drivers were urged to drive within the speed limit, followed by a plea to maintain sobriety, terming it "the silent hero of every safe trip home." Drivers were warned against drunk driving as a result.

Thirdly, vehicle owners were directed to remove stalled vehicles as soon as possible and to take precautionary measures like placing signs to warn oncoming traffic.
