The Regional Security Council of Ashanti (REGSEC) has issued a new restriction on the movement of motorbikes and tricycles around the Kumasi Airport.
From now on, riders are prohibited from travelling beyond the Airport Roundabout towards the airport.
In a statement released on Thursday, the Council cited safety concerns as the reason for the restriction.
They pointed out that the presence of motorbikes and tricycles on the road leading to the airport could pose a potential danger to both air passengers and motorists.
The statement further warned that any driver who fails to comply with the directive would be arrested, taken to court and prosecuted.
The statement reads: “The Ashanti Regional Security Council has noticed that motorbikes and tricycles ply the route from the Airport Roundabout to the premises of the Airport. This is unacceptable.
Therefore, the Council directs that all motorbikes and tricycles are not allowed to ride beyond the Airport Roundabout to the Airport.”
“Any rider who flouts this directive shall be apprehended, arraigned, and prosecuted before the Court. It is the expectation of the Regional Security Council that riders of motorbikes and tricycles within the region will strictly abide by the above directive to avoid a brush with the law. Let us all work together to make the region an orderly and peaceful one for all,” it stated.
