Media coverage on road crashes in Africa often focuses on human error but ignores systemic issues like poor infrastructure or enforcement. It’s critical for everyone to understand the importance of road safety interventions and their impact. Learn more: https://t.co/WF9woFgKjM

I'm encouraged to see reports like this from Ethiopia, noting traffic fatalities in Addis Ababa have dropped 16% with reduction in speeding as a key factor. @BloombergDotOrg supports these efforts and promotes road safety work to save lives and prevent avoidable tragedies.
Joint study by Johns Hopkins and Addis Ababa University shows a 16% drop in traffic fatalities from speed reduction efforts, calling for more speed cameras to improve road safety. #RoadSafety #SpeedCameras
