    Traffic is before and after crossing the motorway, irrespective of which way you are coming from. Is there bumber to bumper traffic on the main motorway now? Do something better with that money, blockheads.

    What's wrong with Ghanaians? If three lanes are constructed on each side of the motorway ,do we call those six lanes? Where are the engineers to this correction?

    The motorway was constructed when my first daughter was born, and for 49 good years, it has seen very little or no major repairs at all. Compare that record to how modern roads are built in Ghana. They hardly survive the fi ...
