A lone traffic light at the iconic Bukom Boxing Arena intersection has become a death trap for pedestrians and motorists.
The traffic light which is almost to the ground has deteriorated for months as rust has crept into its metal core, weakening it.
The bulbs of this traffic light are hanging on damaged poles.
Now, the falling traffic light has become a deadly snare, posing an imminent threat to motorists and pedestrians. Urgent attention is required to prevent catastrophe and restore safety.
It is just a tiny piece of metal, holding it in place and can fall off at any time, damaging vehicles or injuring passersby.
In an exclusive interview with Adomonline’s photojournalist, concerned citizens and motorists appealed to authorities to urgently repair the traffic light, citing the grave risk to lives on that route.
“This traffic light is a ticking time bomb,’ said a resident.
Another added, “We fear for our lives every time we pass through this intersection. We urge authorities to act swiftly to prevent a tragedy. Every day counts.”
They stated that, they await prompt action from the Ghana Highway Authority and Accra Metropolitan Assembly on the situation to avert any looming disaster.
