They complain that particular stretch has become a death spot as residents are knocked down regularly by speeding vehicles.

A member of the youth, George Nyarko has told Accra-based 3FM that the situation is unbearable. “Bunsu Junction is just close to Linda Dor. It is sad to learn that almost every weekend people get knock down and killed by over speeding vehicles,” he indicated.

He said “at the mention of Bunsu Junction, most residents shiver. We cannot sit down and see our friends and relatives die just like that.” He said they have written to the Motor Traffic and Transport Department and the chiefs of Bunsu but all to no avail, adding that they are thus compelled to block that stretch of the Accra-Kumasi highway on Monday and construct their own rumble strips.

“We have served the chiefs and the MTTD letters that we want them to assist us get at least rumble strips at Bunsu Junction to stop the deaths. We have not yet had any response from them."

The youth have therefore called on the government to install traffic lights or construct rumble strips by Monday, March 27, 2017, or they might be forced to block that particular stretch of the road.
