Police Engage Owners and Operators of Concrete Mixer Trucks
The Ghana Police Service, under the auspices of the National Security Secretariat, has engaged owners and operators of transit mixer trucks, also known as concrete mixer trucks, on road safety and compliance with road traffic regulations.
The engagement, held on Thursday, 27th August 2026, was led by the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr. Christian Tetteh Yohuno, and focused on concerns arising from the operation of concrete mixer trucks and their impact on road users and road infrastructure. Stakeholders raised concerns about the spillage of concrete and other materials on the roads by the trucks, noting that such debris obstruct traffic, create hazards for motorists and other road users, and damage road surfaces.
Operators were therefore urged to ensure that concrete or other materials are not discharged or left on the roads during transportation and operation. The operators were served notice that, from Friday, 28th to Sunday, 30th August 2026, concrete mixer trucks would not be permitted to operate on roads within Accra and Tema. The temporary restriction is intended to facilitate the clearing and cleaning of road surfaces affected by concrete and other materials.
During the suspension period, concrete mixer trucks are not to undertake delivery operations within Accra. Any vehicle found moving in breach of the directive will be subject to appropriate enforcement action in accordance with the law. Present at the meeting were representatives of the Ministry of Roads and Highways, the Ghana Highways Authority as well as owners and operators of concrete mixer trucks.
