Speed limiters pledged after Ghana road crashes
Authorities in Ghana say they will introduce speed
limit devices to prevent traffic accidents in the
country, where an average of six people die on the
roads every day.

Commercial vehicles with engine capacities of 3.5
litres or more will be targeted. The top speed
will be set depending on the type of vehicle.

The announcement follows the deaths of more than
60 people in two separate accidents in the country
on Friday.

Speeding, dangerous overtaking and drunk driving
are just some of the major causes of accidents on
Ghana’s roads.

Available statistics from the national road safety
commission show that in the first two months of
this year more than 400 people died in road
accidents, while last year more than 2,000 such
deaths were recorded.
