Residents disclosed this when the pressmen visited some faulty traffic lights on Tuesday in Techiman to see how the movement of motorists and pedestrians were regulated.

Mr Issah Adams ,the assembly member of Kenten electoral area in Techiman said residents had experienced the abnormalities on the roads for couple of months with no assurance by authorities to fix them.

Mr Benjamin Sekyere, a rider of Indian begyai motor popularly known as pragyia said road users were confused upon reaching these junctions where there were no officer to direct their movements adding that they crossed at same time thereby causing crashes and knockdowns.

The Techiman South Municipal Director of the department of urban roads, Mr Boakye – Boateng who spoke with the Ghanaian Times, attributed the non – functioning of traffic lights to broken down controllers underground.

Mr Boakye – Boateng noted that all the junction signals in Techiman would need an overhaul cabling and that he assured residents that they will be fixed.

He said traffic lights at Methodist junction, Zongo, Mayanka, Sunyani ring road, Ohene Ameyaw Park junction and market pelican crossing including the main ahenfie junction which is currently functioning, were awarded to two contractors.

The Bono East Regional Head of the National Road Safety Authority (NRSA), Mr Emmanuel Akyeampong – Parry who spoke with the Ghanaian Times was worried about the sad development and that he appealed to authorities to fix them.
