He is also urging motorists to refrain from speeding along the road.

There is also heavy traffic through the road as it is the only convenient and accessible route from Labasa to Seqaqa, Savusavu and Nabouwalu.

The Tabia Naduri Coastal Road runs through several villages and settlements.

Villagers use the road as their main access to their farms, plantations and to water sources.
