Metropolitan   Assembly   (AMA)   and   Town   and   Country   Planning   Department   (TCPD)   about   developments   on   lands   earmarked   for   road   construction.   Funding   continues   to   be   a   problem   and  because  of  this  many  road  projects  have  not  been  completed.   5.8.3   Provide  Street  Lights  and  Traffic  Wardens  along  Major  Streets   The  MTTU  have  about  180  officers  who  serve  as  traffic  wardens  in  the  city.  The  Ghana  Highway   Authority   notes   that   there   are   150   signalized   intersections   in   Accra   and   over   180   non-­‐ signalized.  In  some  cases,  some  of  the  signalized  ones  do  not  work  properly  and  for  the  MTTU   to  monitor  these  units,  they  will  need  about  900  personnel  to  manage  all  the  intersections  in   the   city   in   a   day.   This   is   obviously   not   feasible   at   the   moment   as   the   department   is   short   of   funding  and  cannot  increase  its  personnel  or  buy  logistics  to  carry  out  its  duties.   The  National  Youth  Employment  Programme  (NYEP)  of  the  Ministry  of  Youth,  Manpower  and   Employment   is   assisting   the   MTTU   through   providing   personnel   that   help   out   as   Community   Protection  Personnel.  These  men  and  women  help  out  the  MTTU  in  directing  traffic  at  various   intersections  in  the  city.  Complaints  against  the  Community  Protection  Assistance  programme   usually  hovers  around  disciplinary  problems  and  the  MTTU  is  considering  how  it  can  help  train   the  Community  Protection  Assistants  to  be  more  disciplined  in  their  work.   5.8.4   Educate  Pedestrians  on  Road  Crossing  Regulations   The   National   Road   Safety   Commission   (NRSC)   was   established   by   an   Act   of   Parliament   (Act   567   of  1999).  The  key  function  of  the  Commission  is  to  plan,  develop  and  promote  road  safety  for   all  categories  of  road  users  across  the  country.   They   have   undertaken   outreach   programmes   with   the   Information   Service   Department   to   educate   pedestrians   on   road   crossing   regulations   and   road   safety   in   general.   This   was   done   prior  to  the  Christmas  holidays  in  2006.This  helped  reduce  road  accidents  on  major  highways   during  Christmas  festivities  as  compared  to  figures  recorded  in  2005.   They  also  undertook  education  through  the  electronic  media  -­‐  television  and  radio.  Consistent   road  safety  programmes  were  run  on  the  national  television  (GTV)  as  well  as  private  television   98
