The efforts made by the State have yielded tangible results. Between 2011 and 2024, the number of deaths on the roads decreased from 1,588 to 678, marking a reduction of more than half in thirteen years. This downward trend can be explained by a multi-sectoral approach including the strengthening of signage, the rehabilitation of infrastructure, and more rigorous road education. The effectiveness of these public policies becomes the guarantee of future safety, enabling Cameroon to rank among the twelve most performing African nations in this area according to international standards.

The shift towards digital solutions marks a break with conventional methods. The use of algorithms and cutting-edge tools should enable predictive analysis of accident-prone areas and stricter automated control of driving behavior. By placing technological innovation at the center of the debates, the authorities intend to optimize the responsiveness of emergency services and traffic flow. The mastery of flows by these professional actors promotes better mobility and reduces the economic cost of accidents for the nation.

The country's influence now extends beyond national borders. With three Kofi Annan Awards and a vice-presidency within the African Association of Lead Agencies for Road Safety, Cameroon is establishing itself as a laboratory for best practices within the CEMAC zone. This two-day forum, punctuated by workshops and technical exhibitions, serves as a platform for sharing expertise between the public sector and private partners. Each technological brick laid strengthens the resilience of the transport system. Each investment made in intelligent surveillance consolidates the solidity of the road network towards sustainable protection for all users.
