Subsequently, the command has put in place some measures to help to reduce and prevent road crashes before, during, and after the festive season.
The measures include community engagement with a focus on community-based accidents, campaigns at various bus terminals, lorry stations, churches and mosques in the Metropolis to create awareness of road accidents.
