Ivory Coast road safety enforcement

Overview

Ivory Coast has transitioned from road safety awareness campaigns to a strict enforcement phase characterized by a “zero tolerance” policy. Under the “Zero Tolerance / Accident-Free Holidays” operation, joint teams from the police, gendarmerie, and the Special Road Safety Police Directorate (DPSSR) have expanded enforcement from Bouaké to Abidjan.

In Abidjan, authorities have targeted two- and three-wheeled vehicles, impounding dozens of motorcycles for violations such as lack of licenses, missing registration, failure to wear helmets, and driving on restricted routes. In Bouaké, mandatory helmet use compliance has reportedly reached 80%. Additionally, security operations in Bouaké addressed broader regional issues, resulting in the destruction of drug dens and the seizure of nearly two tons of falsified or substandard medicines.
