The National Road Safety Authority (NRSA) has cautioned that road safety should not be overlooked amidst the rise of new transport services in Ghana, particularly motorcycle ride-hailing. Abraham Amaliba, the Director-General of NRSA, emphasized that these emerging mobility services must be accompanied by responsible road use, continuous public awareness, and enhanced collaboration among operators, regulators, and other stakeholders to ensure a decrease in accidents.
Amaliba stressed that innovation should not come at the cost of risking road users' safety. Addressing a road safety summit at the British Council in Accra on November 12, 2026, Amaliba characterized road safety as a collective responsibility, especially with commercial motorcycles gaining prominence in urban transportation. He urged motorists, commercial motorcycle riders, passengers, and pedestrians to contribute to road safety by adhering to traffic regulations and showing responsible behavior.
DSP Wari Skube of the Ghana Police Service also took part in the summit, discussing aspects of road safety education, enforcement, and responsible driving and riding.
