The Ghana Police Service has intensified its enforcement against the unauthorized use of sirens, horns, strobe lights, improvised headlamps, and the unlawful use of road shoulders and verges in the Ashanti Region.
The special operation was carried out by the Ashanti Regional Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD), with support from the Central MTTD in Accra and a team from the Police National Headquarters.
The exercise took place at the Airport Roundabout and Santasi Roundabout in Kumasi as part of efforts to improve road safety and ensure compliance with traffic regulations.
During the operation, police intercepted 188 vehicles for various traffic offences.
Officers removed and seized unauthorized sirens, strobe lights, and improvised headlamps installed on the vehicles.
The affected drivers were also educated on the relevant road traffic regulations and cautioned to desist from engaging in such unlawful practices.
The Police Service noted that the exercise forms part of a nationwide campaign to promote discipline, safety, and order on Ghana’s roads.
It added that similar enforcement operations will continue across the country to clamp down on traffic violations and ensure motorists comply with the Road Traffic Regulations.
