Abraham Amaliba, Director-General of the National Road Safety Authority, has revealed that a new directive to accompany the implementation of the Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill, 2025, will make it mandatory for every vehicle owner to subscribe to a towing service.
Abraham Amaliba explained that the measure will help prevent broken-down vehicles from causing traffic congestion and safety hazards on busy urban roads.
Speaking on the proposed policy, Abraham Amaliba said drivers must immediately contact their towing provider within thirty minutes if their vehicle develops a fault in a city center.
Abraham Amaliba further noted that the law will require vehicle owners to register with either a recognized towing provider or an insurance company offering towing services.
According to Abraham Amaliba, this arrangement will ensure that assistance is dispatched quickly when vehicles break down, reducing gridlock and improving road safety in Ghana’s major cities.
The National Road Safety Authority, led by Abraham Amaliba, believes the policy will significantly improve traffic flow and enhance safety on urban roads.
