The iTroTro News team, in collaboration with CK Akanor, hit the streets of Ghana to gather firsthand accounts on the pressing issue of road safety. Through interviews with various individuals, the team aimed to shed light on how poorly maintained roads are contributing to the rise in accidents across the country.
The discussions revealed concerns about potholes, inadequate signage, and narrow roads that have made driving hazardous for both commercial and private drivers. Participants shared their experiences and frustrations, pointing out specific areas where road conditions have led to tragic incidents. One driver described how uneven surfaces and sudden dips make it difficult to maintain control, especially during the rainy season. Another interviewee expressed worry about the lack of maintenance, which endangers the lives of commuters daily.
The videos and pictures captured by the iTroTro News team vividly show the current state of some of these dangerous roads. This initiative is part of iTroTro News’ ongoing efforts to promote road safety awareness in Ghana and to push for stronger enforcement of road regulations and repairs.
With accidents continuing to claim lives, these interviews serve as a powerful reminder of the urgent need for action to ensure the safety of everyone on the road.
