‘For three days, out of 968 vehicles checked, 789 were in violation,’ declared DIRCAB, Joseph Sawadogo, to the press this Tuesday in Ouagadougou.

According to Mr. Sawadogo, the control operation carried out jointly by the General Directorate of Land and Maritime Transport (DGTTM), the Motor Vehicle Control Center (CCVA) and ONASER, was held from June 27 to 29, 2024. on national roads no. 1 to 6.

According to the results of the operation, the 851 cases of irregularities observed are partly attributable to excessive speed, the lack of a first aid kit and the lack of a speed limiter installation certificate for drivers.

In view of these statistics, considered alarming by the cabinet director of the ministry in charge of transport, he invited transporters, drivers and other road users to av
oid speed and risky behavior in traffic.

‘The incivility of stakeholders, the increase in the number of road accidents and the fraud of vehicle documents, among others, have a negative impact on the socio-economic life of the transport sector,’ suggested Mr. Sawadogo.
