PRESS RELEASE
The Government of Anambra State hereby informs the Ndị Anambra and the general public, that individuals and communities are no longer permitted to construct speed bumps on public roads without prior approval.
Going forward:
- Approval required: All speed bumps and their locations must be approved by the State Government.
- Standard design: A uniform design for speed bumps will now have to be sought from the State’s Ministry of Works and Infrastructure.
- Approved locations: Speed bumps will be restricted to critical areas such as markets, churches, schools, and other locations as determined by the government.
- Penalty: It will be an offence to construct speed bumps without authorisation or outside approved locations.
This decision was taken because indiscriminate installation of speed bumps has adverse effects on road infrastructure and safety.
For further clarification, please contact the Office of the Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Anambra State.
