We seek to help bring sanity on our roads to reduce deaths and destruction caused by motor accident, by working along the 2ND UN DECADE OF ACTION FOR ROAD SAFETY – A BRIEF PLANNING DOCUMENT and its Framework for a Decade of Action (2021 - 2030), and along the National Road Policy of Ghana. The policies, long-term or strategic and short term action plans of the Organisation are based on the two afore-mentioned documents.
By way of advocacy and research, we seek to support and advice Government, particularly the Ministry of Transport, through the National Road Safety Commission to implement and review policy, and by way of public education and sensitization, assist the appropriate agencies to ensure enforcement of rules and regulations; specifically on the use of seat belts, alcohol and drug uses, speed management, wrong overtaking, overloading, improving the safety features of vehicles, road safety audit to ensure improvement in road construction, provision of adequate and appropriate road signs and markings, as well as linking road safety to land use and transport planning.
Road traffic crashes with resultant deaths, injuries and damage to property continue to assume alarming proportions in Ghana. Efforts by road safety stakeholder institutions to ameliorate the situation are not yielding the desired results and the blame has been laid at the door steps of weak enforcement of road safety regulations.
