It is also aimed to reduce pedestrian knockdowns mostly caused by excessive speeding at major intersections such as Anyaa School junction, Weija STC traffic light, Opeibea intersection, Tesano stretch N4, etc.

It is observed that some motorists do not drive within the 50kph speed limit stipulated by the law in the city, a situation that calls for stringent measures to enforce it.
