If the number of pot holes goes down by 10% by reducing the the weight of trucks, everybody benefits. Tro-Tro and cars go 10% further without replacing shocks and brakes maybe tyres will last 10% longer. Other haulage companies that respect the new law will have the same benefits. Just the few who want to haul 60tons+ destroy the roads for the rest.

is the base thick enough with compacked clay and compacted gravels/chips? Most roads are built with 6"(inch)gravel base the 6-8 inches of asphalt(tar/gravel) or build the roads of concrete 4-6 deep! Let the heavy haulers get ...

Let the heavy haulers get permits to haul during daylite only but knowing ghana gov they will give away the permits rather than charge for them

WHERE ARE GHANA'S USELESS KNUST "CIVIL ENGINEERS" TO ADVISE THE GOVERNMENT?

ALL THAT GHANA'S KNUST "ENGINEERS" KNOW IS SIT IN THEIR COZY AIRCONDITIONED OFFICES IN SUITS, TAKE BRIBES FROM "CUT-CORNERING" CONTRACTORS, CHAT TO THEIR GIRLFRIENDS ON OFFICE PHONES, SURF THE INTERNET ALL DAY AT WORK, LEAVE THE OFFICE AT 2PM INSTEAD OF 5PM, ATTEND USELESS MEETINGS ALL MONTH, THEN COLLET COOL SALARIES AND ALLOWANCES AT THE END OF EVERY DAMN MONTH FOR "JOB-NOTHING" - FOR NO WORK DONE WHATSOEVER.

THE NEED TO STABILIZE THE SUBSOIL, REINFORCED CONCRETE-STABILIZE THE SUB-BASE AND BASE COURSE OF GHANA'S TRUNK ROADS BEFORE LAYING THE ASPHALTIC CONCRETE WEARING COURSE AND OTHERS CANNOT BE OVER-EMPHASIZED HERE OWING TO SUCH HEAVY-DUTY VEHICLE AXLE WEIGHT PROBLEMS.

GHANA'S "LEADERS" ARE DOWNRIGHT USELESS.

WHY DO THEY THINK DR. NKRUMAH CONSTRUCTED THE ACCRA-TEMA MOTORWAY IN REINFORCED CONCRETE?

BECAUSE NKRUMAH FORESAW THIS HEAVY-DUTY VEHICLES AXLE WEIGHT PROBLEMS POSED BY SUCH VEHICLES PLYING THE ACCRA-TEMA "MOTORWAY". SO NKRUMAH THWAS SMART AND TOOK LONG-TERM PROACTIVE ACTION.

I DO NOT KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE BECOME OF THE ACCRA-TEMA "MOTORWAY" IF SMART NKRUMAH HADN'T CONSTRUCTED WHAT IS NOW A DISUSED ACRRA-TEMA "MOTORWAY".

DON'T SUCCESSIVE GHANA "LEADERS" HAVE BRAINS TO FIGURE THIS COMMONSENSE LONG-TERM PLAN?

MAYBE NKRUMAH HAD THAT VISION BECAUSE HE WAS MARRIED TO AN EGYPTIAN.

DON'T SUCCESSIVE GHANA "LEADERS" HAVE BRAINS TO FIGURE OUT THIS COMMONSENSE LONG-TERM PLAN?

Why don't we do the right things to better our lives and prolong the life span of our roads than allowing ourselves teleguided by greed?

Yess!!I agree bro!! also what about increasing road user chargers on all heavy vehicles on their tare weight.In New Zealand the maximum HP on a heavy vehicle is 780hpower.if u want better roads keep the weight of trucks down

some states in usa require 3 rear axels on trailers,tipper trucks and concrete trucks. or use trailers with spread axels.. All will place the weigh in different areas of roads and bridges
