Police will be heightening their traffic operations during the festive season in anticipation of increased movement.

They say based on statistics of accidents reported during the festive season, the leading causes of accidents are speeding, drunk driving, intoxicated pedestrians and bad driving behaviour.

25 people have lost their lives on our roads in the month of December from 2017 to 2020.

Police say the road death toll this year currently stands at 22 compared to 37 for the same period last year.

13 deaths were as a result of speeding while the second highest cause of road fatalities this year is drunk driving.

Police say traffic officers will be conducting random breathalyzer tests along major highways and busy city and town areas to avoid further loss of life on our roads.
