Superintendent Sasu Mensah cautioned the general public to adhere to traffic rules and regulations and also think of other alternatives routes before leaving their homes to avoid any delays and discomfort.
“They are advised to respect all traffic rules and regulations, no account should a vehicle follow an approaching convoy”.
“Motorist should pack on the right when they see the convoy approaching, any inconvenient caused will be deeply regretted as the road traffic,” Adomonline.com quoted him as saying.
