Do not say you are not warned!!!! *ARTMA REPORT* *Sunday, 8th November 2026* ROUTE VIOLATION (ONE-WAY DRIVING) ON ANAMBRA ROADS With just a few weeks to the busy festive season, ARTMA once again wishes to issue a stern warning to all road users in Anambra State against one-way driving. The Agency remains resolute in its determination to completely eradicate this dangerous and potentially deadly practice from our roads. ARTMA will show no leniency towards offenders, particularly those who drive against traffic on dual carriageways where road signs are not required to identify the direction of traffic. Such actions are not only deliberate violations but also pose serious risks to the lives of innocent road users. We therefore urge community leaders, transport stakeholders, families and other concerned individuals to advise their loved ones against this dangerous behaviour. This is particularly important so that nobody is caught unawares or feels disappointed when the Agency declines requests for pardon or intervention on behalf of offenders. *PENALTIES FOR ONE-WAY VIOLATION INCLUDE:* - Three (3) months' impoundment of the vehicle. - Three (3) years' tax clearance requirement. - Psychiatric evaluation and certification to establish the offender's mental fitness. - Strict financial fines. As we approach the festive season, ARTMA is determined to ensure safer, freer and more orderly roads across Anambra State. We anticipate a very busy festive period, particularly as Anambra continues to enjoy an improved security environment, giving Ndi Anambra and visitors greater confidence to return home and celebrate with their loved ones. *Our message remains clear: NEVER DRIVE AGAINS TRAFFIC.*
