Annually, statistics from the National Road Safety Commission indicate that over 2,000 lives are lost to road accidents. It is on this background that Ghana’s premier news portal, GhanaWeb, has launched a road safety campaign to help curb the growing menace of accidents. This campaign forms a part of the numerous projects GhanaWeb has rolled out as part of its 22nd-anniversary celebrations. The year-long campaign dubbed #GhanaWebRoadSafety takes off today, March 1, 2021, and will focus on three key areas: indiscipline on roads; bad roads and potholes that contribute to road accidents the and absence of streetlights.
