Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) Mayor, Michael Kpakpo Allotey, has mandated all aboboyaa and tricycle operators in Accra to install reflectors on their vehicles by the end of August. The directive aims to enhance road safety and make these vehicles more visible to other road users, especially during nighttime and in poor visibility conditions.
Reflectors must be mounted on both sides and the rear of each vehicle, according to Mayor Allotey, who spoke to the media on August 19. The Mayor also instructed operators to avoid using the inner lanes of major highways and instead use side roads whenever possible. If using highways is unavoidable, operators must ensure their vehicles are clearly visible to other motorists.
The directive is applicable to all operators within Accra, regardless of their specific goods or services. Failure to comply will result in enforcement at the end of August, with potential legal repercussions for non-compliance. AMA urges operators to adhere to the new requirements before enforcement begins, emphasizing the measures are meant to reduce accident risks and improve overall road safety in Accra.
