Mrs May Obiri Yeboah who is the Executive Director of the NRSC said her outfit needs public support for the implementation of this and many other critical road safety interventions.
She said: “In recent times, we [NRSC] have been at the receiving end of some resistance for the introduction of one road safety measure or the other,”
Her statement comes few days after a gory accidents on the Techiman-Kintampo highway and the Accra-Cape Coast highway.Both accidents claimed over 70 lives and is regarded as one of the deadliest in the history of Ghana, according to experts.
