The Nkambe Council has launched a campaign to promote safer and more sustainable road use along Ring Road Number 11, following concerns over reckless driving and environmental damage on the recently tarred stretch.
Mayor Musa Shey Addressing participants
In a meeting held on Friday 1 August 2025, Lord Mayor Musa Shey Nfor engaged representatives of MAG SARL Road Construction Company, alongside commercial drivers and motorbike riders, to address mounting issues of excessive speeding, wrong-lane usage and related hazards.
The council announced a one-month sensitisation period during which road users will be educated on safety measures, traffic regulations and environmental protection. After this grace period, sanctions will be enforced on defaulters.
Mayor Musa Shey Nfor stressed that the initiative seeks to preserve the integrity of the new road while protecting lives. “A safer road benefits everyone — motorists, passengers and the community at large,” he noted.
The sensitisation campaign will also highlight the importance of responsible driving to reduce accidents, limit damage to the road infrastructure and curb negative impacts on the surrounding environment.
Officials say the move is part of a broader plan to improve transport safety in Nkambe and the wider Donga-Mantung Division, ensuring that the investment in the Ring Road delivers long-term benefits for residents and all road users.
