As part of an effort to reduce accidents on the Roads, the National Road Safety Authority (NRSA) has issued a stron\u00a0 warning\u00a0 that it will soon commence a joint exercise with the Ghana Police Service to remove all abandoned vehicl<\/strong>es on roads across the country, on Wednesday, April 4, 2023,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the authority, the abandonment of vehicles on roads is an offense under Clause 21 of the Road Traffic Act, 2004 (Act 683) of the 1992 Constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a release sighted by GhanaWeb, the NRSA added that owners or caretakers of vehicles abandoned on roads will be liable to a \u201csummary conviction to a fine of not more than two hundred and fifty penalty units or to a term of imprisonment of not less than twelve months or to both\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Authority announces for the notice of all owners of motor vehicles or trailers that with effect from 5th April 2023, the Authority, will liaise with the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service, to compulsorily remove or cause the removal of any broken-down motor vehicle or trailer left on a roadway or in a circumstance that poses danger, or that is likely to cause an accident or injury to any other person using the road, to a safer location and surcharge the owner or person in charge of the motor vehicle or trailer with the cost of removal and storage for immediate payment prior to release of the motor vehicle or trailer to the owner or person in charge in accordance with Regulation 102 (1) and(l0) of the Road Traffic Regulations, 2012 (L.I. 2180),\u201d parts of the release read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The authority, therefore, urged the public to take the needed steps to remove their abandoned vehicles from the road to avoid losing them or being fined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
