WE ARE NOT READY TO DEVELOP Nanung TV
If we were serious as a nation, this truck would not have passed through police barriers and entered town with such an insecure load.
Ghana’s road traffic laws prohibit insecure loads. Any vehicle carrying a load that is not properly secured, or that poses a danger of falling onto the road, is committing an offense and should be stopped immediately, especially by the police.
Yet unsecured loads continue to travel freely on our roads every day. Too often, enforcement is weak, and dangerous vehicles are allowed to continue their journey.
An insecure load can fall and kill innocent pedestrians, passengers, or other road users. This is not a minor issue; it is a public safety matter.
The day we become serious about discipline and law enforcement, we will stop tolerating these dangerous practices. Strict enforcement and meaningful penalties can save lives, reduce road accidents, and generate revenue for national development.
Road safety is everyone’s responsibility.
