  The lights may be a factor,but the major cause of roads accidents are due to indiscipline.Most Drivers in Ghana drive too offensive,drank and have no respect for life.And our law enforcement officers are too corrupt to enforce road regulations on our roads.They prefer to take one Cedi to allowe a Car which is not road worthy to apply our roads
  ,than to stop it and save lives.
  The whole fact is,we don`t value life in our society,whether on our roads,Hospitals,streets,in all our dealings we just don`t value life in Ghana.That is why we don`t respect each otgher.

  I have observed that a greater percentage of accidents at night is caused by poor headlight adjustment If the MTTU Police will critically check headlights, it will reduce the rate of accidents at night

  your observations are not correct, because if the roads are properly managed you dont Need the headlight when driving.
  The headlights were made for those who are running from 120km/h-200km/h

  let us put presure on the government to do her part to reduce accidents by 80% , then we take on the recacitrant Drivers from there.
  As it stands now mostly about 90% of road accidents in the country is due to the poor road Managements by the government.
  as government who want to protect her People , you take the weakness of the users to make it impossible for them to cause accidents.
  
  eg if most Drivers have no Patience , so they make quick and wrong overtaking to Crash other motorist , construct the road in such a way that when overtaking will not meet any incoming vehicle . that is how we govern and solve Problems of your People.

  What's the total percent of trunk road junctions in Ghana without street lights. While one would intuitively expect fewer nocturnal accidents on lit-up sections of roadways, If these sections constitute only 5% of the roads, then the 80% mortality on the unlit sections may actually be lower than the rate for the former.
  Intuition is merely a hypothesis; proof is in the evidence

  In western nations, tax revenue and monies accrued from sale of resources, investments etc are used for such projects. In ghana, such monies find their ways into the pockets and foreign accounts of these faggot politicians and leaders. Thats the difference. Vote for persons who are accountable and transparent to you

  OUR ROADS SHOULD HAVE STREET LIGHTS AS WELL AS PROPER REFLECTIVE ROAD MARKINGS. REFLECTIVE WHITE ROAD MARKINGS ARE A LIFE SAVER. If it is foggy at night and you can't see ahead of you well, the reflective white road markings helps a lot. It is something that I have experienced. Headlights are virtually useless under such conditions.

  Where are the high ways authority planners. We have such people in our system making a living on taxpayers earning but service delivery is shoddy. Surely these people must know Accident prone spot in the country that they should rethink of the way they are roads are constructed. Some with hidden dip which is also causing accidents. Sharp corners yet there are no reflective to warn the drivers of any danger. Also use of mirrors.

  There are a lot of T-junctions and dead-end roads that do not have any warning signs. The Highway idiots assume that the drivers know the roads. A friend drove me from Sokode Gbogame to Bame in the Volta Region recently for a funeral. There is no reflective warning sign that the road ends in a T, not is there a single light for drivers to see the road. Do we need an IMF loan to put up a warning sign at that junction?
