This Sunday's edition of JoyNews' The Law explored the newly passed Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill, 2025, popularly referred to as the Okada Law.
Once assented to by the President and gazetted, this law formally legalises the use of motorcycles, tricycles, and quadricycles for commercial passenger transport.
The law also updates the Road Traffic Act, 2004 (Act 683), introducing new provisions on alcohol limits, vehicle safety standards, and regulations to ensure safer and more organised commercial transport on Ghana’s roads.
The guest to share insight into the conversation is the Director General of the Road Safety Commission, Abraham Amaliba.
