• Safer Street
• Some Existing Conditions
• Some Interventions
Objective: Improve traffic safety and
save lives through improving street
design and urban mobility in Accra
• Safer Mobility
• Some Existing Conditions
• Some Interventions
•  Some Public transport
vehicles are very old
and not road worthy
•  Some drivers are also
not qualified to drive
the vehicles they use
•  Passenger transport
services are
unscheduled and
drivers wait for their
vehicles to fill up
before moving.
•  Greater Accra Passenger Transport
Executive (GAPTE) - AAYALOLO
Bus system
•  Attempts to provide reliable,
affordable, fast, comfortable and high
quality bus service
•  A total of 245 state-of-the-art Scania
diesel buses, including 85 that will be
operated along the three routes on
the Amasaman – Tudu corridor which
is about 21 kilometres in length.
•  Site assessment report by the
BIGRS team
NACTO supported with the Global Street
Design Guide for distribution to key
agencies
iRAP and WRI have together trained 90
urban planners, road designers and road
safety advocates on the use of iRAP road
safety assessment software VIDA, and on
the theme: Cities Safer by Design.
Selected participants received the Cities
Safer by Design Guide to support road
and infrastructural development in the city
of Accra
Using Crowdsourcing for Improving Crash
Data and Road Safety Awareness in
Accra
Implementation of Speed and red light
enforcement in Ghana, as a tool to
reduce accidents and deaths.
Collaboration with Sub Committees
Collaboration with Private Sectors
Formal senior management discussions
and agreements between the AMA and
Road Agencies are required for the AMA-
BIGRS project to achieve direct and
tangible outcomes
Active budget line from the AMA to make
a positive headway in road safety
awareness and behavioral change to
support road safety campaigns
….it is a huge task, but we shall get there….
•  Enhanced mobility,
not to be at the
expense of precious
human lives
•  One life lost is too
many to be lost
Thank you
