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.

He said although Ghana s former leader may have appeared tough and strong headed to many, he had a listening ear, and could be persuaded so far as he considered an argument convincing enough.
The retired Major recalled that former President Rawlings was not hard wired towards any
particular political ideology, but was basically a person who believed in doing what it took to solve a problem.

Ghanaians last Wednesday, January 27, bid farewell to their longest serving leader, former President Flt Lt Jerry John Rawlings.
The well-organised and attended final funeral rites for former President Rawlings who had been so deep in Ghana’s political history marked the end of a charismatic leader who identified himself with the grassroots, including market women, fishermen and informal workers.
He often joined them to engage in ordinary work such as cleaning gutters.
Former President Rawlings ruled Ghana from 1979 to 2000, first as a military leader and in his last eight years in office as a democratically elected President.
