The Littoral Regional Delegation of Transport is focusing on dense traffic areas in Douala.

Following instructions from the Minister of Transport on ensuring safe travel during Christmas and New Year, the Littoral Regional Delegation of Transport has been on the watch-out. The Regional Delegate, Pamela Ayuketa, has since been organising road safety campaigns by sensitising road users and owners of bus companies.

The first campaign took the team to Bekoko, a junction in Douala where vehicles heading for the South West, West, North West and Littoral Regions abound. With the use of a mega phone and fliers, passengers and drivers were sensitised on good conduct. They enjoined drivers to be prudent, disciplined and respect the Highway Code in order to avert accidents.

Pamela Ayuketa, who led team of aides and some security officers, insisted that bus companies must use road-worthy vehicles and drivers given enough rest after each trip.

To passengers, she directed that they should call drivers to order if they notice any misconduct like over-speeding, taking of alcohol, smoking, playing music at high pitch and picking up passengers on the way. She discouraged passengers from inciting drivers to over-speed because they want to meet up with appointments. Since road safety concerns everyone, Pamela Ayuketa assured that her team will not get tired of sensitising passengers and bus company owners.
