The speed that thrills also kills The burden of road traffic fatalities in Cameroon calls for urgent attention and intervention. The main causes of fatal crashes on Cameroonian roads are mechanical failures (28%) with two-thirds being tyre problems, hazardous overtaking (23%), and excessive speed (20%). Over- speeding in Cameroon especially on bikes is often regarded as heroism; this, in part, is motivated by action films. Developing countries account for more than 85% of all road traffic deaths in the world. According to worldlifeexpectancy.com on the frequency of ghastly road accidents, Cameroon is ranked as the 29th out of 193 countries, meaning Cameroonian roads are quite deadly. One out of every 34 deaths in Cameroon occur as a result of a road accident; otherwise, every Cameroonian has a 3% chance of dying from a road accident. Between 2004-2007, the estimated overall number of people killed per 100 million kilometres driven was 73. This number is 35 times higher than on similar roads in the US or Europe. Much of the information above is contained in a 2004-2007 study of “Road traffic crashes on the Yaoundé-Douala road section, Cameroon” by Joëlle Sobngwi-Tambekou et al. Within the last two months (April, May 2022), the death count from road accidents and the plane crash calls for a new awakening. Education (sensitization), traffic control measures, alcohol control for drivers in the roads, in addition to the control of vision, state of health (age) and consciousness (number of hours spent resting before a long trip) and the control of the state of vehicles appear to be the most cost-effective interventions. These are responsibilities we can all commit to for safer roads and safer skies, while hoping the state and width of the roads are continuously upgraded. In December of 2021, the Open Dreams Community lost two members from road accidents - Feka Parchibell (yesterday, May 19th, 2022, would have been her 46th birthday) and Elvis Chem Dzelamonyuy, formerly a commonwealth PhD Scholar at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.We join the Ministry of Transport Cameroon in its effort to curb road accidents. #237SafeRoadsForAll #SafeSkies https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdx4MsMAObx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
