The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) reported that 279,414 traffic offenders were arrested and 2,214 road crashes occurred nationwide between January and May 2026, indicating an improvement in road safety.

Transport Minister Barbara Creecy's proposed zero-alcohol driving limit is gaining support from South African Breweries and organised labour as drunk driving continues to contribute to the country's road deaths, according to IOL. The proposed law would remove the current legal alcohol limit for drivers entirely. However, the legislation still requires approval from Cabinet and Parliament before it can take effect.

The Federal Road Safety Corps has urged communities and passengers in Nigeria to take action against reckless driving after 60 people died in road crashes in Osun State. An official identified as Adebayo advised passengers to insist that dangerous drivers stop their journeys and to report them promptly to the nearest FRSC patrol team or police for appropriate intervention. The appeal forms part of broader efforts to reduce fatalities on Nigerian roads, according to PM News.

The Federal Road Safety Corps' Osun Sector Command has called for stronger collaboration with traditional rulers and community leaders to reduce road traffic crashes and improve safety across the state. According to the Daily Post, Sector Commander Sunday Adebayo made the appeal on Monday during a visit to the Olufi of Gbonganland, Oba Adetoyese Oyeniyi, in Gbongan, seeking royal support for the corps' road safety efforts.

According to PM News, police have arrested 202 suspects during a raid on brothels and drug dens. The operation also resulted in the impounding of five motor vehicles, ten tricycles, and ten motorcycles for violating traffic regulations, state-imposed restrictions on tricycle operations, and a ban on motorcycles in certain areas.

Phase two of the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (Aarto) Act is being implemented in 62 municipalities, according to Monde Mkalipi of the Road Traffic Infringement Agency. This rollout follows a delay in the initiative's launch, which aims to improve the management of road traffic offences.
