Ø More than 1.2 million people die in road traffic crashes every year Ø As many as 50 million people are injured or disabled by road traffic crashes every year Ø Road traffic crashes cost countries up to 4% of their Gross National Product Ø Correctly used seat-belts reduce the risk of death in a crash by 61% Ø Mandatory use of child restraints can reduce child deaths by 35% Ø Helmets reduce fatal and serious head injuries by up to 45% Ø Enforcing a drinking and driving law around the world could reduce alcohol-related crashes by 20% (WHO, 2005). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Africa has the world's highest rate of road fatalities per capita. For example, the statistics indicate that 2,043 people perished in road accidents in 2007 in Ghana alone compared to 1,858 people who died in 2006. Many factors contribute to road accidents in Africa. The notable ones include bribery and corruption. “While the focus of this book is Ghana, Nigeria and South Africa, for obvious reasons, nonetheless, Stopping the Carnage on African Roads is unmistakably germane to the totality of the dismal traffic situation in Africa at large. In this sense, the expansive title of the book is all the more appropriate. In sum, on the critical subject of preventable road carnage in Africa, Mr. Bonna is one, among a dispiritingly low number of writers and intellectuals, who knows exactly what he is talking about. In essence, the author's argument revolves around the salutary, commonsensical and imperative need for postcolonial African governments to ensure that the auspicious facility of vehicular transportation is safely and productively engaged. The latter observation, of course, implies the stringent and impartial enforcement of transit laws and penalties.” (Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe, Jr., Ph.D., Bronx, New York).

Road traffic collisions are the leading cause of death in Africa. Death and injuries from road traffic place an enormous strain on Africa's health care systems and their national economies. Fortunately, there is a growing recognition that road traffic injuries can be prevented. A number of countries have shown that by taking action on drunk-driving, speeding, use of helmets and seat belts, and increasing the visibility of pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists, a significant number of lives can be saved and resources spared, even as motorization continues to rise. In addition, measures to decrease corruption, in law enforcement, improve the roads, develop pedestrian and driver awareness could bring the accident rate in countries in Africa down to the levels common in fully developed countries. This book provides information on road accident prevention and draws the attention of the public, the government, the lawmakers and the councils of state in Africa to the loss of lives on our roads. It issues this alert: that after many years of independence, Africa must stop constructing double single roads as major highways from the capital city to link the other cities.
