When the sirens become a national anthem: confronting Ghana’s road accident crisis

The DVLA, the National Road Safety Authority, the Motor Traffic and Transport Department of the Ghana Police Service, and the National Insurance Commission are strengthening collaboration to develop a coordinated and data-driven approach to road safety.

We should also explore additional interventions, including automated speed enforcement systems, periodic retraining for commercial drivers, expanded road safety education in schools, and the development of a fully integrated national road safety database.

At the same time, I believe this moment presents us with an opportunity to have an honest national conversation about road safety.
