"We have constantly warned pedestrians to use the foot-bridges provided by the state government to reduce crashes on the roads but pedestrians have not been complying."

The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) is set to take the use of pedestrian bridges seriously.

According to Anambra State’s Sector Commander, Mr Sunday Ajayi, these bridges ensure the safety of pedestrians.
