stations   (Metro   TV,   TV3,   TV   Africa   and   Sky   TV)   and   local   radio   stations   to   educate   the   public   on   specific  issues  related  to  safe  road  user  practices.  The  national  television  station  still  runs  these   programmes.   The   Commission   also   trained   teachers,   children   and   parents   on   road   safety.   The   programme   targeted  teachers,  parents  and  pupils  in  basic  schools  in  the  Greater  Accra,  Northern,  Volta  and   Western  regions  of  Ghana.   Since   accident   figures   are   high   in   communities   along   highways,   the   Commission   collaborated   with   the   Ghana   Highway   Authority   to   embark   on   a   road   safety   education   tour   for   road   users   in   22  communities  along  the  Kumasi  –  Konongo  Highway.  They  also  printed  and  distributed  over   20,000  different  copies  of  posters,  flip  charts  and  CD's  containing  road  safety  information  at  the   Ghana  International  Trade  Fair  Centre.     All   these   activities   have   helped   to   educate   and   sensitize   the   public   and   pedestrians   on   road   safety  regulations  and  have  helped  to  slightly  reduce  the  accidents  involving  pedestrians  so  far.   The  Commission  has  however  faced  some  challenges  in  the  implementation  of  their  activities,   these  include  the  attitudes  of  some  people  on  road  safety  issues,  getting  the  message  on  road   safety  across  to  the  physically  challenged  especially  the  blind  and  indiscipline  of  some  drivers.   In  order  to  overcome  these  challenges  and  to  sustain  the  progress  made  so  far,  the  Commission   has   formed   and   inaugurated   District   Road   Safety   Units   in   the   various   districts   as   well   as   inaugurated   District   Road   Safety   Committees   to   help   educate   and   ensure   road   safety   in   the   various  districts.  They  have  also  inaugurated  road  safety  clubs  in  basic,  junior  and  senior  high   schools   and   some   training   colleges.   The   Commission   has   also   created   a   call   centre   at   their   premises  with  a  toll  free  number  that  the  general  public  can  use  to  report  any  issue  concerning   safety  on  roads.  The  centre  is  now  operating  on  a  pilot  basis  before  it  goes  nationwide.   The   MTTU   which   also   educates   pedestrians   on   road   safety   issues   uses   the   print   media   to   educate  the  public  about  road  safety  issues.  In  addition  to  this,  it  carries  out  outreach  programs   99
