The Central East Regional Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) has intensified enforcement of road traffic regulations aimed at curbing the unauthorised use of sirens, strip lights, unapproved vehicle lamps, and driving on road shoulders and verges.
The exercise was conducted at Krispo City Traffic Light on the Kasoa–Winneba Highway and Kasoa New Market on the Kasoa–Bawjiase Road. During the operation, nineteen (19) drivers were arrested for various traffic offences, comprising three (3) for the abuse of sirens and strip lights, ten (10) for the use of unapproved lamps, and six (6) for driving on road shoulders.
The offending drivers were sensitised, cautioned, and warned against future violations. The unauthorised sirens, strip lights, and lamps were removed, seized, and retained by the Police for further action.
The Central East Regional Police Command reiterates its commitment to promoting discipline and safety on the roads through sustained enforcement and public education. Motorists are advised to comply with road traffic regulations and avoid practices that endanger other road users.
