MOST road signs in the Sekondi/Takoradi metropolis, especially, the central business district have been removed, while markings on the road have been blocked by traders who have displayed their wares on the road.
The shop owners have displayed their goods in front of their shops on the pavements an action which forces pedestrians to walk on the road, which is also risky.
Some shop owners have also erected canopies to cover the road signs, causing road safety problems for motorists.
All the signs on the road in front of Avor Hotel in Takoradi, had been removed while the one alerting motorists of a traffic light ahead has been covered with a canopy in front of a shop. Obviously, the shop owners do not see the importance of these road signs.
Some of the shop owners who spoke to the Daily Graphic said since they paid tax to the assembly, they had to operate their businesses in a manner that would enable them to accrue maximum profit to enable them to pay their taxes.
