Zambia Red Cross Society President Godfrey Simasiku says the International federation of the Red Cross and the Red Crescent has come with a strategy to address road traffic accidents.
Mr Simasiku said the Red Cross in the country will work with critical partners such as the Zambia Police, RATSA and other cooperating partners to ensure that the deaths due to road accidents in the country are reduced.
He said the institution will visit schools in the country to sensitize and recruit more members who will help in serving lives on the road.
He emphasized the important work the Red Cross Society performs in helping state players to serve the people in times of need.
And Mr Simasiku has attributed the high number of accidents in the country to carelessness by drivers.
He note that most drivers have not had sufficient training on do not know the rules on the road.
He observed that some drivers drive at the same speed whether its on a straight road or curve when a vehicle was not meant to function like that.
He added that these days drivers are cruising at night even when they can not see far and when there are obstacles on the road have little time to reduce the speed hence leading to accidents that the country is seeing today.
He appealed to road users to be mindful of others on the road and ensure that traffic rules and signs are adhered to whenever one is driving.

So you can run the traffic system immediately.
I’m talking about using Precision Farming for Precision Traffic.
Mathematical examination of the passage shows that the Precision traffic less complex than Precision Agriculture from the known rule that in the surface there are infinite lines.
The Precision traffic system educates and instills a driving culture.
