Police ban concrete mixer trucks from Accra, Tema roads for three days
The Ghana Police Service has imposed a three-day restriction on the movement of concrete mixer trucks on roads within Accra and Tema, citing concerns over road safety, traffic obstruction and damage to road infrastructure.
The Ghana Police Service has imposed a three-day restriction on concrete mixer trucks in Accra and Tema, citing safety concerns. This restriction will take effect from Friday, August 28, and run until Sunday, August 30. The decision was made after talks between the Police and truck owners on Thursday, August 27. During the meeting, led by Inspector-General of Police Christian Tetteh Yohuno, concerns were raised about the trucks spilling concrete and other materials onto roads.
This creates hazards for drivers, causes traffic problems, and damages roads. As a result, the Police has ordered these operators to keep their vehicles off the roads in Accra and Tema for the next three days. This will give time for the affected roads to be cleared and cleaned. Violators of this directive will face legal action.
The Police also met with the Ministry of Roads and Highways, the Ghana Highways Authority, and the truck operators. The operators were reminded to ensure no concrete or other materials are left on public roads during their transportation and construction duties.
