The National Road Safety Authority (NRSA) has issued a 21-day ultimatum to all Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies in the Greater Accra Region to remove billboards mounted on flyovers and overpasses.
The Authority says the billboards are illegal, distract drivers, and pose a serious risk to public safety. Despite earlier warnings, many of the structures still remain in place, prompting this firm deadline.
“These billboards are not just illegal; they are death traps. We will not wait for another accident to act,” said David Osafo Adonteng, Acting Director-General of the NRSA.
He warned that if the Assemblies fail to comply, the NRSA will take legal steps and forcefully remove the billboards.
The directive forms part of a nationwide campaign to reduce road crashes and keep public infrastructure free from dangerous obstructions.
