The police have arrested 281 errant drivers on the Entebbe Expressway.
Police say many drivers have been violating the 100km/hr speed limit on Entebbe Expressway, which has become a death spot.
SP.Micheal Kananura, the Traffic Police Spokesperson, said they have resorted to using CCTVs to capture errant drivers because they could not deploy physical personnel. The arrested drivers, according to police, had become habitual offenders.
Kananura was speaking at a joint briefing with the Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA), and the Ministry of Health where Fika Salama Extra operations along the expressway were launched. SP.Kananura speaking…
Police said the Fika Salama Extra operations will be conducted at snap checkpoints and sometimes CCTVs will be relied on to monitor driver behavior which is one of the major causes of road crashes.
Police said habitual offenders will be taken to court for prosecution. END.
