VOICED : Ghana turns to technology to tame

The video discusses the traffic challenges in Garner's capital, highlighting the role of Chambliss, a system developed by Guillaume Boniface, to help drivers avoid traffic hotspots. Initially a Twitter feed, Chambliss has evolved into a website offering interactive traffic maps and alerts.
