San Fernando City:Eight road safety teams from the Land Transportation Office (LTO) - Ilocos Region have been strategically assigned to various areas to ensure safe and orderly travel as motorists and commuters visit cemeteries and memorial parks for All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day on November 1 and 2.

According to Philippines News Agency, this initiative supports the government's vision of achieving zero road fatalities and promoting responsible mobility during the anticipated increase in travel for the Undas observance this year.

The LTO's Undas operation, which began with a send-off ceremony led by LTO Regional Director Glorioso Danue Martinez in San Fernando City, La Union, will continue until November 4. During this period, personnel from the LTO's Regional Law Enforcement Section will monitor road safety compliance, assist travelers, and remind motorists to adhere to traffic regulations.
