The Federal Road Safety Corps has advised motorists travelling on the Abuja–Kaduna Highway to exercise patience and strictly adhere to traffic regulations amid heavy congestion caused by increased Eid-el-Kabir travel and ongoing road construction works.

In a travel advisory posted on its official X handle on Sunday, the Corps said the most affected stretch remains the Nasarawa–Azara axis between Katari and Jere towns, where traffic movement has slowed significantly, a situation it attributed to congestion worsened by dangerous overtaking and lane indiscipline.

FRSC urged road users to remain patient, stressing that discipline on the highway is key to easing the current gridlock.

“Motorists are advised to exercise patience and strict compliance with traffic regulations as the corridor currently experiences heavy congestion due to increased Eid-el-Kabir traffic and ongoing road construction works,” the Corps said.
