    Trailers are not allowed on flyovers. So what was that driver doing there with that TONS of load? Was he trying to destroy the flyover.

    He must be arrested and prosecuted...PERIOD.

    Only in Ghana that a trailor is allowed to move on flyover.

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 7 years ago

    It is not only in Ghana that Tractor trailers use flyovers. It happens in the USA too.
    Our problem in Ghana is one of overloading, speeding and lack of professional training schools for such drivers as it happens in Develope ...

    Frank, I am in agreement with your position.....several trailers or even semi-trailer trucks as they are called in the US use flyovers in America on a daily basis. What is missing looking at the flyover is lack of reinforced ...

    Articulators or 18-wheelers should not be permitted to use the flyover. Period. There are other routes available for their use. Please let's value life, for once.

    CARELESS driving.
    When driving on a flyover a speed limit should be 30 MPH.

  • Lori 7 years ago

    The pictures very clearly show poor construction.

  • Minta 7 years ago

    This has nothing to do with poor construction. TRAILERS ARE NOT ALLOWED ON FLYOVERS. THE DRIVER is an idiot and must be arrested and prosecuted.

  • Counselor 7 years ago

    Wrong Minta, trailers could be driven on an overpass with reinforced concrete walls on both sides of the overpass. This is happening everywhere in Africa and globally.In the States they are called semi-Trailers. These trucks ...

    There should be weight limit devices to check the loads if vehicles plying on these roads, and the police must be asked to do a better job and policing, and avoid bribery. That is the issue. They look the other way after acce ...
