The National Safety Campaign (NASACA) has petitioned the Ministry of Road and Highways to remove the tollbooth debris on all roads across the country.
According to NASACA, the collapse of booths along most of the routes poses a danger to motorists and other commuters.
“NASACA is by this pleading with you to clear them off the highways or scout a use of the facilities to the benefit of the economy,” NASACA advised in a statement available to Metro TV.
“This humble call is in line with the nation’s move for advanced road safety,” the statement added.

The Ministry of Roads and Highways directed the immediate discontinuation of the collection of tolls on all public roads and bridges across the country on Thursday, November 18, 2021.
The announcement followed the presentation of the 2022 budget statement and economic policy in Parliament by the Minister for Finance Ken Ofori Atta where he announced the scrapping of tolls on all public roads.
“The Ministry of Roads and Highways hereby directs the cessation of the collection of road and bridge tolls at all locations nationwide,” he said.
