All road users at the Malaita Provincial capital of Auki have been acknowledged for obeying the traffic rules during last week’s 41st second appointed day celebration.
The Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) National Traffic Department (NTD) in a statement expressed its gratitude to the public.
During the whole event there were no major issues during the escort of high-level dignitaries in Auki, were recorded, a statement issued by Police Media Unit said.
“Drivers, vehicle owners and pedestrians adhere to traffic rules which really help officers doing the escort much easier to manage movements in the township with our dignitaries,” the statement said.
During the mini trade show to the actual 41st second appointed day on the 15August 2024 there was no major traffic incidents.
“Our road users must be commended for that,” Provincial Police Commander (PPC) Malaita Province, Chief Superintendent Tex Tafoa said.
He said, its good that the public comply with the traffic rules because soon Auki township roads will be tar-sealed.
“This is the kind of attitude we would like to see during major events in the future. Our traffic officers are doing their job to make sure our road is safe and we too must play our part on our roads.”
Chief Superintendent Tafoa said, during the day the traffic officers escort high delegation to some of the sites close to Auki town but there are no traffic issues that disturb their movements.
“Thus, I must give a thumbs up for the road users.”
