The Ghana Police Service says it has intercepted 1,054 vehicles in the Greater Accra Region as part of an ongoing nationwide road traffic enforcement exercise targeting the unauthorized use of sirens, horns, strobe lights, beacon lights, and improper vehicle modifications.
According to the Police, the drivers of vehicles found in violation were educated on the relevant provisions of the Road Traffic Regulations, while unauthorized devices and modifications were removed and seized for further action.
The Service disclosed that a total of 4,627 vehicles have so far been intercepted nationwide since the enforcement exercise began on 15 June 2026.
The Police said the exercise forms part of efforts to promote road safety, restore discipline on the country’s roads, and ensure compliance with the Road Traffic Regulations.
The latest update follows an earlier warning by the Service that the unauthorized use of emergency warning devices, including sirens and strobe lights, violates Regulation 74 of the Road Traffic Regulations, 2012 (L.I. 2180).
The Police had explained that the misuse of such devices creates unnecessary panic among motorists and other road users while contributing to traffic indiscipline.
At the time, the Police directed all persons who had installed unauthorized emergency warning devices on their vehicles to remove them immediately or face arrest.
The Service has assured the public that similar operations will continue nationwide as authorities work to improve road safety and enforce compliance with traffic regulations.
