The Major Mahama road, named after the late Major Mahama who was tragically lynched in 2017 at Denkyira Obuasi while on guard duties, is not only known for its popularity.

The road also leads to major areas in Accra including East Legon, Spintex road, Teshie, Nungua and Burma camp.

Despite the road being classified as a security zone and having a military cemetery, the road is covered with total darkness at night due to non-functioning streetlights.

Although the National Road Safety Authority has stated that inadequate street lighting contributes to over 30 per cent of road crashes, none of the streetlights on the Major Mahama road works.
