The Ghana Police Service has suspended the operations of concrete mixer trucks in Accra and Tema for three days over concerns about road safety and damage to road infrastructure.
The restriction took effect on Friday, 28 August 2026, and will remain in place until Sunday, 30 August.
According to the police, the decision follows concerns over concrete spillages from mixer trucks, which can create hazards for other road users and contribute to the deterioration of roads.
The suspension affects the movement and operation of concrete mixer trucks within Accra and Tema during the three-day period.
The police said the measure forms part of efforts to improve road safety and protect public infrastructure.
Concrete mixer trucks are commonly used to transport ready-mixed concrete to construction sites across the two cities. However, spillages on busy roads can leave concrete deposits on road surfaces, potentially affecting traffic flow and creating dangerous conditions for motorists and pedestrians.
The temporary restriction is expected to give authorities an opportunity to address the concerns surrounding the operation of the trucks and ensure greater compliance with road safety requirements.
The Ghana Police Service has urged operators and other road users to take note of the restriction and comply with the directive throughout the period.
Operations are expected to resume after Sunday, 30 August, subject to any further directives from the authorities.
