Anyone who drives in Ghana knows the routine: a pothole appears overnight, a flood closes a junction after the rain, an accident backs up traffic for an hour — and the only way most people find out is by driving straight into it.
That information exists. It’s just stuck in group chats, radio call-ins, and word of mouth, scattered across a hundred different places instead of one map everyone can check before they leave the house.
RoadYawa GH consolidates fragmented road intel into a single, live hazard map. Commuters can report issues in under 30 seconds, instantly protecting everyone else on the route. It’s a living network where drivers, mates, and passengers work together to confirm, update, or resolve alerts as conditions change.
No hazard is permanent, and neither is a report — the map is only as good as the community keeping it honest, which is exactly the point.
The map is only useful if commuters trust it and keep contributing to it. Every design decision starts from what makes reporting and reading hazards easier for real people.
We collect the minimum location and usage data needed to run the map — handled under Ghana’s Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843) — and it’s never sold or shared with third parties.
Trunk road overlays, region-by-region coverage, and hazard categories that reflect what actually shows up on Ghanaian roads — not a generic map dropped into a new country.
We’re building RoadYawa GH with early users, not just for them. Get in touch — we read everything.
