Commercial drivers give authorities one week to clear traders from lorry terminals, bus stops

Commercial drivers in Accra have given authorities one week to clear traders from designated bus stops, lorry parks, and pedestrian walkways, warning that they may take matters into their own hands if the authorities fail to act. The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) and other commercial transport organizations have called on the government to enforce existing regulations and restore order at transport terminals across the country.

The occupation of these spaces by traders has worsened traffic congestion, increased the risk of road accidents, and forced drivers to pick up and drop off passengers along the roadside.
