As the rainy season begins, the Directorate of Traffic & Road Safety urges all road users, especially motorists, to exercise extra caution.
Hazardous driving conditions can arise from:
- Fog & mist
- Heavy rainfall
- Flooded roads
- Reduced visibility
Ensure your safety on the road.
1. Maintain your vehicle, check tires, brakes & lights to ensure they're in good working condition.
2. Slow down, reduce speed & maintain a safe distance from other vehicles.
3. Avoid flooded areas, don’t drive through standing water, as it can be difficult to gauge the depth & may cause your vehicle to stall or be swept away.
4. Increase visibility, use headlights & ensure windshield wipers are in good condition to improve your visibility.
5. Avoid overtaking & reduce the risk of crashes by avoiding overtaking, especially in poor visibility conditions.
6. Pull over if visibility is extremely poor, find a safe place to park and wait until conditions improve @PoliceUg

SP Oinebye Bruce Kamunanwire: We have a challenge in our country, and I call it impunity. Someone buys a new vehicle and thinks they automatically have the right of way.

Earlier today on Kampala Northern Bypass!
Please NOTE, the Northern Bypass is NOT CLOSED to traffic.
The contractor, Stirling, will be undertaking SECTIONAL closures and has put in place safety measures including providing for a dedicated lane to ease traffic movement in those sections where maintenance works will be undertaken.
These works have now commenced at the Kisaasi section and will only affect the old phase of the Northern Bypass.
