Rwanda National Police

Rwanda National Police (RNP) on Monday, July 7, sensitized over 1500 motorcyclists in City of Kigali on Gerayo Amahoro. The campaign focuses on educating road users on traffic rules and responsible road behavior to reduce accidents and save lives.

Superintendent of Police (SP) Emmanuel Kayigi, the spokesperson for Traffic and Road Safety, emphasized the importance of compliance with road safety regulations."We urge all riders to use the road responsibly and obey traffic signs, rules, and regulations to protect their lives and those of others," SP Kayigi said.

He reminded the taxi-moto operators of some key road safety guidelines, including having traffic related documents, avoiding reckless behaviors such as riding on pedestrian walkways, regulating speed, riding while sober, wearing and fastening helmet.

“Refrain from weaving through traffic, remain in your lane. It is crucial to avoid using mobile phones while riding and to ensure that the motorcycle displays visible official identification and license plate numbers. Respect pedestrian crosswalks and signals, park only in designated areas, and take necessary breaks to prevent fatigue,” he added.

The Gerayo Amahoro campaign is a vital national initiative aimed at promoting discipline of road users to make roads safer for all.
