The National Road Safety Authority (NRSA) commemorates the 50th anniversary of Ghana’s switch to right-hand side driving, a milestone achieved on August 4, 1974.
The transition from left-hand to right-hand driving aligned Ghana with international standards and enhanced road safety.
This change has significantly improved the transportation landscape, fostering better compatibility with Ghana’s francophone neighbours and facilitating smoother cross-border travel and trade.
According to the NRSA, the switch has improved traffic flow, reduced congestion, and heightened road safety.
The Authority will celebrate this milestone with events, including public awareness campaigns, stakeholder engagements, and community outreach initiatives.
As part of the celebrations, the NRSA encourages all road users to uphold responsibility and promote road safety.
This historic shift underscores Ghana’s commitment to regional integration and ongoing improvements in transportation infrastructure.
