Eighteen people have been killed on the roadways this month, which is designated as Road Safety Month.
There were 14 road fatalities in February, May and July;
five in January; 10 in March, seven in April; eight in August; 10 in September and six in October.
The drivers, in most of the accidents, were killed and according to a traffic officer, this is as a result of drivers being under the influence of alcohol or speeding on the country’s roadways.
Last year, the month of November turned out to be the second deadliest month for road users, with 16 road fatalities.
