Police are seeking the support of the community with regards to tackling the issue of jaywalking.
Police Chief of Operations Rusiate Tudravu says that Police will be conducting school traffic duties, directing traffic and closely monitoring jaywalking where they will be deployed.
However, Tudravu says Police cannot guarantee deploying officers to every major crossing to monitor jaywalking and requests that the public be mindful to cross at proper pedestrian crossings at the right time.
Tudravu has also highlighted that Police have had a series of meetings with the Fiji Roads Authority and closely working with the Land Transport Authority to address jaywalking.
He says that there are crossings available at major roads and intersections and Police are requesting assistance from the public to use the proper crossings at the right time.
