The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) says some infrastructural adjustments would be needed in Abuja to support the proposed introduction of bicycle transport in the nation’s capital city.
The Corps’ Public Education Officer, Mr Bisi Kazeem, stated this in an interview with newsmen in Abuja on Sunday.
Kazeem said the plan also required amendment of the National Road Safety Regulations to include provisions for the safety of cyclists.
He spoke against the backdrop of the recent announcement of the proposed bicycle policy by the National Council on Transportation (NCT) after its 15th meeting in Sokoto.
“As a pilot scheme, if Abuja is taken, there is need for restructuring of some intersections before we can kick start it successfully.
“FRSC studied all the road networks in Abuja, and we have identified the gaps and recommended measures to address the challenges.”
