According to ghana web:ccording to Ghana Web, Agbodza pointed out that the speed ramps erected by residents are often excessively large and unsuitable for highways where vehicles typically travel at higher speeds. He acknowledged that while residents may have safety concerns regarding speeding motorists, taking the law into their own hands could exacerbate safety issues.
During an inspection tour of the Wa-Han-Tumu Road, Agbodza highlighted the widespread nature of the problem and its potential impact on the quality and longevity of road infrastructure. He urged residents to refrain from constructing these ramps, noting that the Ghana Highway Authority is responsible for implementing appropriate speed-calming measures.
Agbodza assured that the Ghana Highway Authority would assess areas where speeding poses a threat and introduce appropriate measures. He also appealed to motorists to adhere to speed limits, suggesting that responsible driving would mitigate the need for residents to take matters into their own hands.
The minister underscored that road safety is a collective responsibility and encouraged communities to collaborate with relevant authorities instead of making unauthorized changes to highways.
