Wa, May 8, Ghanadot/GNA
– The National Road Safety Commission on Thursday launched its
Commercial Vehicle Log Book aimed to regulate the movement and
speed of vehicles.
It would also help to reduce driver fatigue and other associated
problems to minimize the carnage on the roads.

Khalid, said the book would be beneficial if only other
stakeholders like the Ghana Police Service, the Driver Vehicle
and Licensing Authority and transport associations as well as
passengers help to ensure the proper uses of the book.
He appealed to the police to inspect the log books at their
barriers to ensure compliance and efficiency.
“It is better to be late to one’s destination than to loose
one’s life.”
Mr. Khalid said the government was committed to ensuring sanity
on the roads and appealed to the National Road Safety Commission
to continue to sensitise drivers and other road users to obey
traffic regulations and the maintenance of vehicles to reduce
accidents.
Mr. Nuhu Mahama, Upper West Regional Industrial Relations
Officer of Ghana Private Road Transport Union, appealed to the
government to provide security lights at the Wa Lorry Park to
help reduce robbery.

and Jirapa/Hamile roads.

district assemblies in the region in revenue mobilization.
