Arrest, prosecute drivers who make U-turn on highways

A driver making a U-turn on a high way

Dear editor

I am writing to bring the attention of the appropriate authorities to a serious issue which needs immediate action, that is, the dangerous practice of drivers making U-turn in the middle of busy roads.

I have encountered this act of drivers several times and I can say it is a dangerous act be­cause drivers are often on high speed as they drive and braking at once might cause serious harm to passengers and pedes­trians as well.

This behaviour of drivers does not just cause physical harm to passengers but can also affect them emotionally as well as causing unnecessary traffic congestion, thereby wasting valuable time of passengers.

I will urge concerned authori­ties, especially the Ghana Police Service (GPS) to help address this issue promptly. The safety and well-being of citizens must be a priority for all, especially those in positions of authority.

I hope this piece will prompt the necessary actions to be tak­en to address this problem to ensure a safer travel for all.
