@PoliceUg Lower speed limits, such as 30 km/h in urban areas and 50 km/h on highways traversing urban zones, can extend travel times. For a country like Uganda, where traffic congestion in cities like Kampala already costs an estimated 6.7% of GDP annually.

[richard katalemwa @krichard4]

@PoliceUg However, the potential Economic Impacts of Speed Limit Laws negatively impact on Economic Development, Increased Travel Time and accrue on Productivity Losses.

[richard katalemwa @krichard4]

@PoliceUg For instance, safer highways could encourage more visitors to national parks, where speed limits are capped at 40 km/h to protect both wildlife and tourists. Lower urban speed limits (e.g., 30 km/h near schools and markets) align with global best practices.

@PoliceUg It can be argued that road traffic accidents impose significant economic burdens. In EA, traffic crashes result in $1.7 billion in annual economic losses. By reducing these accidents, we could lower costs like medical care, property damage, and lost productivity

[richard katalemwa @krichard4]

@PoliceUg Speed limit traffic laws in Uganda, particularly the Traffic and Road Safety (Speed Limit) Regulations, 2024, aims to enhance road safety by reducing accidents, which have risen alarmingly—fatalities increased by 80% from 2,845 in 2014 to 5,144 in 2024.

@PoliceUg , has introduced speed limit traffic laws within the city and along highways. With a country trying to boost its economy after the reduced donor funding, I feel such laws impend economic development considering the time factor for money and other related aspects.

[richard katalemwa @krichard4]

@ntvuganda Problem is not with the Schools but the Government. Government should put in place strict guidelines to both parents and schools not to take their kids beyond say 5km in search of schools yet there are schools near them unless if taking those kids to boarding schools.
