Open drains pose danger to motorists on Graphic Road

Motorists and pedestrians who ply the Graphic Road-Kaneshie-Odorkor road, are exposed to danger, as a result of the removal of many drain coverings on the road.

The dual-carriage stretch has most of the slabs covering the gully drains on the outer lanes of the road removed.

The Graphic Road-Kaneshie stretch is a major route for thousands of motorists and commuters.

The situation, therefore, threatens the safety of motorists and commuters who are required to exercise caution at the various spots of danger.

Some of the uncovered drains have sticks placed in them by some concerned individuals to warn motorists of the danger ahead, but that act in itself is dangerous.

To worsen the situation, some of the street lights along the corridor, particularly those in front of the Graphic Communications Group Limited and the Graphic Road overpass, where a lot of the uncovered drains can be found, are not functioning.
