The Traffic Enforcement Unit (TEU) General Santos has started activating the speed limit in the city for safer roads.
Plt. Col. Patrich Elma, TEU-Gensan head, said the move aims to reduce accidents involving vehicles speeding beyond the normal rate.
TEU Gensan’s enforcement will strictly follow the national law on speed limits, targeting busy roads prone to frequent traffic incidents.
Local government officials are studying the full implementation of speed limits, especially for national roads, to ensure proper support and compliance.
According to TEU Gensan records, 236 overspeeding cases have been linked to road accidents, highlighting the urgent need for solutions.
Plt. Col. Elma emphasized that if speed limits are enforced in other areas, General Santos can also implement them effectively.
He added that collaboration with local authorities is necessary to address challenges and create safer streets for motorists and pedestrians.
The TEU is committed to monitoring drivers, raising awareness, and strictly penalizing violators to prevent future overspeeding incidents.
Community support and participation are encouraged, as road safety remains a shared responsibility among motorists, residents, and enforcement officers.
Activating speed limits marks an important step towards making General Santos a safer city, minimizing risks and protecting lives every day.
