The Ashanti Regional Security Council (REGSEC) has implemented new measures restricting the movement of motorbikes and tricycles around the Kumasi Airport.
Effective immediately, riders are not permitted to travel beyond the Airport Roundabout towards the airport itself.
REGSEC has stated safety concerns as the primary motivation for this restriction, emphasising the potential hazards posed by the presence of motorbikes and tricycles on the road leading to the airport, impacting both air passengers and motorists.
In a statement released on Thursday, REGSEC cautioned that any rider found violating this directive would face apprehension, prosecution, and legal 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.”
