Police seize 700 vehicles in crackdown on illegal sirens and beacon lights

The Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service has intensified its enforcement of road traffic regulations, impounding about 700 vehicles during a special operation in the Western Region aimed at eliminating the unlawful use of sirens, beacon lights and strobe lights.

The police have in recent months stepped up enforcement of traffic regulations to improve road safety, reduce indiscipline on the roads and ensure that emergency warning devices are used only for their intended purposes.

ACP Obeng indicated that the enforcement exercise would not be a one-off operation but would continue on a daily basis in the Western Region as part of broader nationwide efforts to improve compliance with road traffic laws.
