Traffic violation: OYRTMA impounded 395 vehicles, 60 motorcycles in 8 months in Oyo

The Director, Administration and Supply, OYRTMA, Mr Tunde Aiki, made this known to newsmen on Wednesday in Ibadan.

He said that it was the statutory responsibility of the agency to enforce the state traffic laws, control traffic and maintain orderliness on the road across the state.

Aiki explained that the agency was not established to generate revenue for government through collection of fines from traffic law offenders but to ensure compliance of road users to traffic laws.

The director noted that commercial drivers topped the list of basic traffic law violators in the state, adding that some of the drivers and commercial motorcycle operators had not been making use of designated bus stops.

He also said that some motorists were in the habit of parking indiscriminately and driving recklessly.

Aiki said that the agency would not relent in its efforts at checkmating the excesses of motorists and other road users and enforcing strict compliance to traffic regulations.

He admonished pedestrians and motorists to always take into consideration the safety of other road users as well as acquaint themselves with the traffic laws of the state.
