Faded street markings are becoming a grave danger to road users in the capital city, Accra.
The faded markings make it difficult for drivers to keep to their lanes, a situation which poses a risk to all road users.
Street markings, which are adopted globally as a road safety mechanism to help guide drivers and pedestrians on the proper use of roads, are conspicuously absent on some of the streets visited within Accra and on the highways connecting the city to other parts of the country.
As part of the traffic control plan, street markings provide visual guidance for road users and warn them when they are about to veer off their lanes.
