#GhanaWebRoadSafety: Dark roads, pot holes pose danger on Teshie Bush Road stretch

It’s a combination of things; darkness and potholes.

These two individually can cause accidents but pose an even greater danger for residents and commuters who use the Teshie Bush Road because the road is both dark and filled with bad potholes.

The absence of street lights on the stretch is very worrying for commuters of that stretch, especially at night. This could promote not only armed robberies but also accidents.

The deplorable state of the road is also very worrisome because of the widened potholes on the stretch which not only is problematic for vehicles but can also encourage accidents.

This is what the road looks like at night as captured by a frequent user of the Teshie Bush Road stretch in Accra:
