ROAD TRAFFIC
The name is traffic and we live with it everyday. For those working or living far from their work places, it has become a daily routine. In as much as we dread and wish for the better, we seem to have no choice but to live with it. To live with it also implies that, the hardship associated with it is understood and if there are ways of mitigating its effects, we do so without recourse to any form of protest.
Every government in power is aware of this menace and as the VIP's pass us by each day, they expect us to understand that what they drive towards is equally more important as the path we are heading towards and by virtue of that, we pack aside so as to give them way. Our lives depends on the decisions they will be making, that is usually our immediate taught but every year we pack aside for another VIP to pass. Whilst we sit in crowded buses with restrictions in movement and the ease of blood flow hardly taking place, we begin to feel the essence of also experiencing the luxury of been in a V8. Thus if given the opportunity in the next election, we begin to envisage acquiring the position of a district chief executive or probably a member of parliament.
It is therefore no surprise that for decades now Road traffic has more a less become a norm and a daily routine in the life of motorists and pedestrians. While the the lives of passengers in crowded buses keeps ebbing away slowly and the evidence as to whether it has caused or contributed to end the life of another is very much far away, we begin to dread this routine and probably hope for the better.
Road traffic aren't only associated with Ghana, there are developed countries who still go through hell to make movements of motorists and pedestrians easier and healthier. One that is noteworthy encourages the use of bicycles, since its noted to keep a healthy and active life. Perhaps we in this part of the globe could emulate this unavoidable example. We should not also forget that whilst in our attempt to find solutions to road traffic, we don't resurrect another such as the Okada menace which does not only increas the death tolls on our roads but has become, the number one cause of road accidents in the state today.
We are not frowning on the use of motorbikes and tricycle but we do hope that per adequate training, the best riders in the state are allowed to work. Through this lives will be saved, the streets will be cleaner and there will be less corpses to count. Road traffic implies less productivity, weakened immune systems and perhaps more of the recent trends we loaf so much; climate change and its menace.
