The Ashanti Regional Security Council (REGSEC) has imposed new restrictions on the movement of motorbikes and tricycles around the Kumasi Airport.
Effective immediately, riders are prohibited from travelling beyond the Airport Roundabout towards the airport itself.
REGSEC cited safety concerns as the primary reason for the restriction, highlighting the potential danger posed by the presence of motorbikes and tricycles on the road leading to the airport, affecting both air passengers and motorists.
In a statement issued on Thursday, REGSEC warned that any rider violating this directive would face apprehension, prosecution and court proceedings.
The statement read, “It has come to the notice of the Ashanti Regional Security Council that motorbikes and tricycles ply the route from the Airport Roundabout to the premises of the Airport. This is not acceptable. In this regard, the Ashanti Regional Security Council hereby directs that all motorbikes and tricycles are not allowed to ride beyond the Airport Roundabout to the Airport.”
“Any rider who flouts this directive shall be apprehended, arraigned, and prosecuted before court. It is the expectation of the Regional Security Council that riders of motorbikes and tricycles within the region will strictly abide by the above directive to avoid a brush with the law. Let us all work together to make the region an orderly and peaceful one for all.”
