DUR and others are directed by NRSA to repair broken traffic signals and lamps.

The National Road Safety Authority (NRSA) has issued an order to the Department of Urban Highways (DUR), the Energy Ministry, and other stakeholders to repair all malfunctioning traffic signals and lighting on the country's roads as soon as possible.

In a statement dated December 17, the NRSA expressed unhappiness with the general state of traffic signals on Ghana's road networks, revealing that 75 traffic lights across the country are non-functional.

NRSA regarded the situation as concerning since it increases the vulnerability of road users, particularly pedestrians.

In light of this, the NRSA has stated that if "the irresponsibility persists," it will use its authority to enforce the standards against erring duty bearers.

"Duty-bearers' continued disregard for these faulty and non-functional streetlights and traffic signals undermines the intent for their installation, which includes the desire to influence efficient vehicle and pedestrian movement to minimize potential conflicts and possible crashes," parts of the Friday press statement read.

The NRSA has issued a warning to drivers approaching crossings without traffic signals as the holiday season approaches.

"As a temporary solution, the Authority directs that the various District Assemblies collaborate with the police to deploy trained traffic wardens to assist in the gap management," it continued.
