Lubumbashi, November 2, 2024 – The issue of regulating motorcycle traffic in the city of Lubumbashi is at the heart of the municipality’s concerns. Indeed, according to an official press release from the town hall, any motorcycle seized for violating the limits of the North, South, East and West perimeter set by the authorities will not be returned to its owner. This radical measure aims to guarantee the safety of citizens and ensure the fluidity of traffic in the metropolis.
The mayor of Lubumbashi, Joyce Tunda Kazadi, reminded motorcycle operators of the importance of scrupulously respecting the rules in force. Indeed, the operating perimeter delimited by the town hall is clearly defined to guarantee the safety of road users. Thus, in the North, Avenue Ruwe constitutes the limit not to be crossed, while in the South, Avenue des Ecoles delimits the restricted zone. To the east, the intersection of Boulevard Félix and Savonnier marks the border, and to the west, it is the intersection between Chassée Laurent Désiré Kabila and Boulevard Kamanyola that sets the limits.
This strict policy aims to prevent traffic accidents and ensure the peace and quiet of Lubumbashi residents. Indeed, by restricting motorcycle access to certain areas of the city, the authorities seek to limit the risk of incidents and promote better organization of road traffic. It is therefore essential for motorcycle drivers to comply with these rules to guarantee the safety of all.
In conclusion, the city of Lubumbashi faces significant challenges in terms of road safety, and regulating motorcycle traffic is one of the measures taken to address them. By respecting the limits set by the city hall, drivers contribute to the creation of a safer and smoother environment for all road users. Everyone’s cooperation is essential to ensure the smooth running of traffic and to preserve everyone’s life.
