NRSA Congratulates Muslims, Urges Road Safety Ahead of Eid al-Fitr

The National Road Safety Authority (NRSA) has extended warm congratulations to Muslims across Ghana for their dedication and perseverance during the 30-day Ramadan fast.

In a statement, the NRSA commended the Muslim community for upholding values of spirituality, discipline, and compassion—principles that, it emphasized, are also crucial in fostering a culture of road safety.

“As we approach the joyous celebration of Eid al-Fitr, we stand with our Muslim brothers and sisters in prayer for peace, good health, and the right mindset to ensure safety during this festive period,” the statement read.

With increased travel and movement expected during the festivities, the NRSA cautioned that a rise in road activity could heighten the risk of accidents if proper precautions are not taken.

The Authority urged all road users to prioritize safety, emphasizing responsible conduct to ensure an incident-free celebration.

“We call on drivers and motorcyclists to avoid reckless behaviors such as overloading, speeding, and dangerous driving,” the NRSA advised. “Pedestrians should also remain vigilant, use designated crossing points like zebra crossings and footbridges, and avoid jaywalking.”

Reaffirming its commitment to road safety, the Authority pledged to work closely with law enforcement agencies and other key stakeholders to create a safer environment for all road users throughout the festive period and beyond.

The NRSA concluded by extending its best wishes to the Muslim community, hoping for a peaceful, joyful, and safe Eid al-Fitr celebration.
