Abstract
The deputy director of the Research, Monitoring and Evaluation of the National Road Safety Commission, David Osafo Adonteng, indicated that Ghana "wastes" more than 1.2 trillion cedi (94 million, US$128 million) annually on road-traffic injuries. The cost involved in road-traffic injuries means that 1.6 percent of the countryÆs gross domestic product per annum is channeled into solving the road-traffic injuriesÆ situation. Ten thousand fatal traffic incidents occur annually on roads in Ghana, in which 1600 people die and 15 000 are seriously injured.(Author/publisher).
