Directorate of Traffic & Road Safety Conducts Road Safety Campaign in Bwaise Bus Terminal
A team from the Directorate of Traffic and Road Safety, led by the Ag. Deputy Director of Traffic, ACP Musinga Norman, and the Directorate’s Liaison Officer, SP Kananura Michael, in collaboration with the KMP North Region under the RPC, has conducted a road safety campaign at Bwaise Bus Terminal. The initiative is part of ongoing efforts to reduce road traffic crashes and promote safer road use across the country.
This proactive engagement aims to raise awareness and foster dialogue with local stakeholders on critical road safety concerns. According to last year’s crime report, KMP North recorded 376 road crash fatalities, ranking it as the third most affected region in Uganda, following Rwizi and Albertine.
The campaign began with internal engagements involving all traffic officers in the region, followed by targeted outreach to key stakeholders. These included taxi operators, boda boda riders, market vendors, local council leaders, passengers, and pedestrians, among others.
The discussions focused on identifying practical interventions and reinforcing the shared responsibility in ensuring safer roads. The goal is to promote collective action, where every stakeholder understands and plays their role in reducing road crashes and saving lives.
