Road safety is a major concern in all countries of the world and in Benin in particular. Lack of knowledge of the code of the road accidents are at the top of the statistics of the centre for road safety in Benin.
10 Accidents in urban centres, 9 involve drivers of motorcycle taxis known as zémidjans. Zémidjan trade has become the door of the faster output of unemployment, young graduates without jobs, where, and rural attracted by the eldorado of the major cities offer a livelihood as soon as they can find a motorcycle and a motorcycle swimsuit. This profession with no barrier to entry (no training, selection, nor formalities prior to the start), the new applicant launches once it has a motorcycle at its disposal, contrary to the rules and codes of the road. This situation jeopardizes both the life of the driver and other road users in the major urban centres such as Cotonou and Porto Novo.
The vision of this noble project is to reduce significantly the rate of road accidents related to the infringement of basic rules of road safety and the highway code by taxis motorcycles of Cotonou and Porto Novo.
