🇬🇭 A concerned citizen has shared CCTV footage sourced from the National Road Safety Authority showing a pedestrian being struck by a speeding taxi while attempting to cross at a green light. Sharing the video as a safety reminder, he urged both drivers and pedestrians to strictly observe traffic... signals and called on drivers to exercise caution, even when the light is green, to prevent such tragic incidents.show more

We never learn Wait til the lights are red, then you cross What at all are you in a hurry to do, that you can’t wait a min or two for?

Ghanaians really need to learn this 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️we disregard every rule and regulation Whether they are traffic rules or work rules or school rules They are there to protect you and other people

Not drivers fault but he could’ve stopped

You see .. I don’t pity her one bit .. the mindset of some Ghanaians is shitty .. most of will attack me because of your emotions but I can clearly tell you that even if there was a foot bridge the Same people won’t use it

The narration is misleading. The driver wasn’t speeding and had little time to react. This accident was caused by the pedestrian’s carelessness. Too often in Ghana, pedestrians take risks and expect drivers to bear all the blame.

I think the public needs a lot of this kind of education. Most often, we feel road safety is only for drivers, but as seen here, it is not the case. Go to Lapaz and you'll see a lot of this incident of pedestrians trying to cross while the traffic light for drivers is green 🤦🏾‍♂️

At this point i can’t even feel sorry for idiots anymore. You deserve what you get if you refuse to think like a human.

If someone doesn’t use their sense means what? Ghanaians are used to disregarding everything and trying to use their mind to do everything. It’s green, just wait, whether cars or no cars. No one is at fault just that one lost their life.

I think that was suicide

Who says the driver is at fault.

Oh Chale im sad 😩, see how cars are just passing by herh life

Its not a speeding taxi Its a highway for Christ sake

If you see a traffic light, there’s something you should know, red means stop, green means go. This is a poem taught to kids who don’t own or drive cars. We are jokers.

Though the driver isn’t at fault but from that angle he could have slowed down or maybe his focus was on something else coz he could have saved her from this angle.😢

@ClassicObey For emotions and humanity sake we will blame the driver but he’s not at fault.. We need to be cautious when crossing traffic.. When is Green just wait till it turns red .

well that’s her fault.. the light was literally green .. idk where she’s in a hurry to

The traffic lights which was being learned at school still needs to be show on TV always cos some Ghanaian even ignore foot bridge while is right in front of them

The person narrating this has no moral right to educate anyone. What exactly is he implying? We excuse reckless pedestrian behavior too much in this country. Swerving to avoid her can cause worse accidents and harm innocent drivers. She paid for her own carelessness. HardTruth

Her time was up,common sense couldn’t save her….highly understandable,a traumatized driver

The woman drink something anaa or she just wants to die. Chale

Police need to start ticketing these people once money is out of their pockets they will stop, that’s the only way to combat this culture, talking just won’t work unfortunately

Is the car okay?

The driver saw her but didn’t slow down

This clearly shows the drivers attention was set on something else. Sometimes when the light is green your attention is all set to drive thru. You could turn to watch something or pick something, even to change a channel or regulate the AC and that is when things like this happen

Very educative and informative

The motorway is for vehicles. Green means GO - don't be an IDIOT in the name of being humane. STOP POSTING TRASH AS EDUCATION- The guy in the video lacks the requisite intelligence to disseminate information. 😡

@grok did she survive?

That's alajo traffic light.

@Am_Que1 @QuasiVilla @Ojr1_gh

But why will you try to cross the highway when the traffic light is still green?? Can we be serious???

@jay_ttie

This is why drivers have to be careful. And extra careful
