RED ALERT! LOOMING DANGER ON MOTORWAY

There is a likelihood of a very great danger occurring on the Accra-Tema motorway if nothing is done in as a matter of urgency on the visibility aspect on that stretch.

This reporter, during a night drive on the stretch to found out that no single streetlight on the road was functioning making visibility very poor, posing danger to both drivers and pedestrians.

The situation on the motorway

Speaking to some of the drivers who are mainly taxi and heavy duty vehicle drivers, they decried about the situation and told this reporter that even though they have reported the situation to authorities nothing seems to be done about it.

“we’ve reported this situation times without number yet we pay road tolls, visibility is very poor, sometimes it is difficult to see pedestrians and even dangers ahead of you like when there has been an accident” they bemoaned.

Apart from the streetlights not functioning, this reporter also found tilted light-poles which are near falling down with a little blow of wind which is also posing danger to commuters.
