Drivers that use unapproved sirens and strobe lights are the
target of a severe crackdown by the Ghana Police Service. The two days of this
operation were July 17 and July 18. Officers targeted populated locations such
as Tarkwa and Sekondi-Takoradi. Regional MTTD teams and the National Police
Headquarters worked together to conduct the unique drill.
Authorities stopped 789 cars in all during the operation.
Officers found that 732 automobiles had unlawful strobe lights and lamps, while
57 cars had illegal sirens. All of the illicit accessories were quickly taken
out and seized by the police. In addition, formal warning letters and
instruction on appropriate traffic laws were given to the offending drivers.
Law enforcement used media appearances and radio
conversations in addition to road checks to inform the public about safety
regulations. Similar operations would be implemented nationwide, according to
the Ghana Police Service. These actions are intended to protect all users of
the road and enforce strict adherence to traffic laws.
