A rise in traffic-related accidents involving students in Tobago has prompted the THA Division of Public Infrastructure and Transportation to launch a road safety caravan targeting primary schools.

The initiative began on Tuesday at the Scarborough RC Primary School.

Transportation Planner at the Division of Public Infrastructure and Transportation, Nadia Frank-John, told TTT News that despite the presence of pedestrian crossings and road signage around schools, there has been an uptick in accidents involving students.
