Improve road safety measures to protect children — MISORNU Safety Centre

MISORNU Centre also called on transport unions and ‘okada’ riders’ associations to deliver short daily road safety briefings to their members through their various communication platforms, reinforcing safe and responsible road-use habits, particularly during school commuting hours.“The Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service should consider a special school safety operation, involving the strategic deployment of personnel to high-risk school zones, major intersections and pedestrian crossings during peak school hours.

Again, it called on the road sector agencies, metropolitan, municipal and district assemblies (MMDAs) to urgently inspect school zones and ensure that pedestrian crossings, warning signs, speed-reducing measures and other road safety facilities were visible, functional, and appropriate for protecting children.
