The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has ramped up its citywide decongestion initiative ahead of the Christmas season, unveiling 'Operation Let the Traffic Flow'. The initiative aims to clear traders from bus stops, pavements, and unauthorized areas, a task previously announced in a 48-hour ultimatum issued on November 4, 2026.
The operation commenced over the weekend, with enforcement activities already underway at the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange, Achimota, and parts of the Central Business District (CBD). The Mayor of Accra, Michael Kpakpo Allotey, along with the Korle Klottey Municipal Chief Executive, Alfred Allotey-Gaisie, spearheaded the AMA's enforcement efforts at Kwame Nkrumah Circle, removing unauthorized structures and seizing street trader items.
The task force dismantled makeshift structures on road pavements and seized goods displayed by wandering traders. AMA's Mayor emphasized that the operation is crucial for reducing traffic congestion, enabling smooth vehicle and commuter movement, and restoring order at the busy Circle transport hub, where roadside trading has exacerbated congestion and obstructed pedestrian and vehicle traffic.
The Welfare Secretary of Neoplan Lorry Station, Kasim Alhassan, voiced satisfaction with the exercise and praised the Mayor and his task force, asserting that the ongoing operation would enhance traffic flow and restore order in the area. The directive stems from concerns raised by commercial drivers, particularly the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU), who threatened industrial action if traders occupying designated bus stops nationwide were not cleared before the end of November 2026.
