Be Careful Avoiding Potholes, FRA To Motorists

Fiji Roads Authority (FRA) chief executive officer, Jona­than Moore has advised members of the public to drive carefully on our roads during this rainy weather.

With the heavy rain in the past couple of days, motorists have ex­perienced bad roads with the in­crease and worsening of potholes on roads.

“Potholes are everywhere and we are doing our best to patch it up and minimise this issue,” Mr Moore said.

“My advice to motorists is to be ex­tra cautious while driving and to be considerate of other drivers when trying to avoid potholes.”

Motorists are advised to be alert while driving so as to avoid road accidents during these periods of heavy rain around the country.

The FRA has also closed off a few roads in Rakiraki and the Northern Division and is trying to keep mem­bers of the public safe and out of harm’s way.
