“…It is worth mentioning that this study did not include observations of passengers, which, according to previous studies, showed even lesser rates of seat belt use (Goetze & Islam, 2015;Jermakian & Weast, 2018;Ogunleye-Adetona et al, 2018). Passenger seat belt use might be related to driver use.…”

Although taxi drivers are more exposed to traffic crashes, they usually exhibit riskier behaviors and more negative attitudes toward road safety. For example, previous research suggests that they are particularly reluctant to wear seat belts. The research aimed (a) to estimate the prevalence of seat belt use among taxi drivers compared to other professional and non-professional drivers (Study 1, n = 3.810) and (b) to explore attitudes toward seat belt use in taxi drivers using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) (Study 2, n = 100). Study 1 showed lower seat belt use among taxi drivers (vs. other professional and non-professional drivers). Study 2 showed that self-reported use tends to be higher than the estimated observed use and that negative experiential attitudes appear to be essential for understanding the reluctance of taxi drivers to use seat belts. Practical implications and future lines of research are discussed.

“…As evident in the study, almost half of the school children were being transported by vehicles. This is a reflection of the locations of the schools selected in the study in terms of socio-economic status (Ogunleye-Adetona et al, 2018;Ojo, 2018;Sam, 2015). As such, with relatively higher socioeconomic status, the parents/guardians transport/ dropped off their wards in schools.…”

“…Existing studies including Porter et al (2010), Yankson (2011), Porter et al (2017), Ogunleye-Adetona et al (2018 focused on school children road safety. Specifically, Porter et al (2010) explored young people's experiences and perceptions of mobility and mobility challenges in deprived Ghanaian urban areas.…”

The incidence of a pedestrian crash is a leading cause of death among Ghanaian schoolchildren due to various factors including the lack of pedestrian walkways and zebra crossings. This study was a cross-sectional self-reported survey to investigate the means of transport by school children, the incidence of pedestrian crashes among school children and knowledge of pedestrian safety. The survey focused on three basic schools in the High and Medium-Income Residential Areas in the Metropolis and was administered to 230 school children with observations. Descriptive and pairsampled t-test analyses were conducted to assess the differences in pedestrian safety knowledge by gender, age, education and the incidence of pedestrian crashes. The results revealed that transporting/dropping off by vehicles and walking were the major forms of travel for school children with the majority of those walking unaccompanied. Female, younger and lower primary school children were largely victims of pedestrian crashes because of low pedestrian safety knowledge. The findings have emphasized the need for evidence-based safety promotion and injury prevention in the high and medium-income areas of the Cape Coast Metropolis.
