The challenges that traffic in region were facing including most of the road users have little knowledge on traffic regulation hence increase in accidents that can be avoided.

For instance, resident in Iringa don’t know how to use the Zebra Crossing, of which they stand and cheat stories at the Zebra Crossing instead of crossing at once.
