• A portion of the wire mesh fencing at Mallam-Junction pulled down
Pedestrians have destroyed large portions of the wire mesh fencing erected along some highways in Accra to make it easy for them to cross the roads, instead of using the designated zebra crossings and footbridges.
As a means to avoid conflict between vehicles and pedestrians, wire mesh fencing is often used to direct pedestrians to preferred formal and safer crossing points, as well as discourage them from crossing the road at dangerous points.
However, on some of the roads in Accra, certain individuals have destroyed this fencing to enable them to cross the roads randomly, thus putting their lives in danger.
