A cross section of the public in Sekondi/Takoradi is asking the Western Regional Road Safety Commission to re-orient drivers in the metropolis to make the roads safer to avert future accidents.
Refering to the accident which claimed the lives of four schoolchildren and a woman last week they were of the view that many road signs in the metropolis were either removed or faded, therefore, drivers or motorist thought they have the road to themselves without observing traffic regulations.
According to them, at most pedestrain crossings it is difficult to get the attention of motorists since there were no signs to prompt them of the potential halt ahead.
On a drive through the metropolis, the Daily Graphic observed that many of the road signs had faded and the zebra crossing which is supposed to be reflective were not in place.
One could only see the two ends of zebra stripes.
The Regional Police Command had actually deployed its personnel to various crossings but that was not enough since the police were needed for other duties.
