The Federal Government created the FRSC with a mandate to eradicate traffic crashes as well as maintain traffic laws and orders.
The Federal Road Safety Corps ( FRSC) is charged with the responsibility of ensuring that traffic signs, rules, and regulations are obeyed, such as; Zebra crossing, Pedestrian crossing, Using the Overhead Bridge in place of crossing the highway, obeying the Traffic Lights, Fastening seatbelts.
These laws are put in place and order to reduce the risk of accidents, and the build-up of traffic jams.
In the course of carrying out these exercises, the FRSC has the right to arrest, and or prosecute traffic law offenders.
As of 2018, the total length of federal government roads in Nigeria reached 36,000 kilometers, while secondary routes were 18,000 kilometers in total 17,000 trunk routes, and 343 kilometers made up of street roads.
