Acting Director-General of the National Road Safety Authority (NRSA), Abraham Amaliba, has pledged to clamp down on road indiscipline by rigorously enforcing traffic laws to reduce accidents.

His commitment comes in response to a fatal hit-and-run accident on the Achimota Highway on March 9, 2025, which resulted in the deaths of two former Achimota School students.

Speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show on March 10, Amaliba expressed deep concern over the increasing disregard for road safety regulations by both pedestrians and drivers.

He identified reckless behavior among road users as a major contributor to road crashes and assured the public that stringent actions would be taken against offenders.

"Since assuming office at NRSA, I have observed that driver and pedestrian misconduct are the two leading causes of accidents. Addressing these issues will bring significant improvements in road safety," he stated.

To enhance safety measures, he revealed that NRSA will collaborate with the media to drive public awareness and promote discipline on the roads.

"In the coming days, we will see more order on our roads. A nationwide campaign featuring a well-known Ghanaian figure will soon be launched to encourage responsible road use," he announced.

Additionally, Amaliba indicated that NRSA is preparing to roll out an extensive public education initiative to instill discipline and reduce road violations across the country.

“When I took over the NRSA, I realised there were two main causes of road crashes; driver and pedestrian indiscipline, and so if we are able to curb these two, we will make a lot of headway,” he said.
