Ghana has introduced new rules for road traffic called L.I. 2519. These rules explain the penalties for breaking traffic laws.
Drivers can now face fines or even go to jail for certain actions. These actions include racing on roads illegally and driving through red traffic lights.
Other offences that can lead to penalties include parking in wrong places and not obeying traffic police officers. Using a television screen while driving is also against the new rules.
The regulations also cover how traffic offences will be monitored. They allow for the use of devices to automatically detect and record violations.
These new rules aim to improve road safety across the country.
The specific penalties for each offence are detailed within the regulations.
Authorities are working to ensure drivers are aware of these changes.
The goal is to reduce accidents and make roads safer for everyone.
