PESACO has joined forces with the Police Force and fellow Tanzanians to actively participate in this year's Road Safety Week, an important event that is currently taking place. Road Safety Week is celebrated annually during the third week of August and is dedicated to enhancing public awareness about crucial road safety measures and the importance of adhering to traffic laws. This year, the event is being held in Dodoma City, from August 26th to August 31st, 2024, and aims to highlight the significance of road safety in our communities.
The week-long campaign focuses on educating the public about the proper use of pedestrian crossings, emphasizing the need for pedestrians to cross roads safely, and for drivers to respect these crossings. In addition, there is a strong focus on encouraging motorcyclists to follow traffic rules, wear helmets, and ensure that their motorcycles are in good condition to reduce the risk of accidents. The initiative also includes vehicle inspections, where cars and motorcycles are checked to make sure they are roadworthy and meet safety standards.
By collaborating with the Police Force, PESACO is helping to conduct various educational workshops, seminars, and interactive sessions designed to engage the community and promote a deeper understanding of road safety. These activities aim to instill a sense of responsibility among drivers, motorcyclists, and pedestrians alike, encouraging everyone to contribute to a safer road environment.
PESACO's involvement in Road Safety Week underscores its commitment to creating a safer Tanzania by advocating for responsible road use and adherence to traffic regulations. Through these collective efforts, PESACO hopes to reduce the number of road accidents and fatalities, ensuring that roads across Tanzania become safer for everyone. Together with the Police Force and other partners, PESACO is dedicated to fostering a culture of safety, awareness, and mutual respect on our roads.
