Any resident of Accra will tell you that Accra is the haven for insane traffic. From the heartbreaking morning rush to the unbelievable hell that is the after-work drive.<\/p>\n<p>However, as Accra is a large city, there are some areas that have traffic jams worse than others. These are the 7 worst traffic prone areas in Accra:<\/p>\n<p>1. Tema Motorway. This like the worst place to be on your way to work especially on a Monday morning. The traffic is just absurd and there&#8217;s never a shortcut, which makes it even more infuriating.<\/p>\n<p>2. Airport Junction. The after-work rush in this side of the city can make you suicidal. The blaring honks from other cars and the hawkers who won&#8217;t stop bothering you. It&#8217;s even worse when you are in a Trotro.<\/p>\n<p>3. Lapaz-N1-Dzorwulu. This entire stretch is basically hell on earth and you can&#8217;t say otherwise. If you&#8217;ve ever been stuck in a 3-hour stand-still traffic on this stretch, the memory of it will definitely make you boil with rage.<\/p>\n<p>4. Madina-Legon-Shiashie. Oh the rage. Commuters to work especially on Mondays and Wednesdays will tell you the kind of heart-attack you could get at the just the sight of the traffic on this route.<\/p>\n<p>5. Novotel-Accra Tema Station-Accra central. The traffic on this route is enough to make you cry, especially if you&#8217;re going shopping on a Saturday. Go as early as possible.<\/p>\n<p>6. Circle-Achimota-Dome. Just don&#8217;t use this route. Simple, just don&#8217;t. There&#8217;s a never a day you won&#8217;t get frustrated by the traffic here, whether morning or evening.<\/p>\n<p>Which areas do you identify with? Got any areas of your own?<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 24 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Wednesday, 26 October 2016 Source: yen.com.gh 2016-10-26 File Photo When you first arrive in Accra, one of the things you are hit with is the overwhelming traffic jams.
