Accra, Sept. 1, GNA - The Ga District Assembly and the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) have started removing unauthorized speed ramps on urban roads in and around the Metropolis.

Mr Abass M. Awutu, Transport Planner of the Department of Urban Roads told the Ghana News Agency in an interview on Monday.

He said other safety measures apart from the speed ramp could be used to check road accidents since a ramp is needed mostly in a local settlement area, school or hospitals where pedestrian activities go on. Mr Awutu said the Department had come out with a procedure, which allowed people, who expressed the need for a speed ramp in their area to apply from their assemblies.

He said the request would be assessed to determine whether there is need for a ramp or other safety measures and asked people to follow the procedure.
