Roads and Highway Minister, Hon. Kwasi Amoako Atta has revealed that plans are advanced to convert tollbooths across the country into washrooms for road users.
Addressing the press he said the move will help stop the situaton where drivers and other road users are seen urinating on the sides of roads.
“The government will refurbish all those tollbooths structures to provide proper and decent washrooms. For instance, the use by motorist so that we advise them to desist from the practice that you see that at times cars stopping indiscriminately on the highway and people getting out… you know, to wee-wee as we usually say it.
You see men on the left and women on the right (urinating) or at times you see a man and a woman, look, it’s all indecent, it’s not a good practice,” he said.
Meanwhile the National Road Safety Authority has also cautioned that the tollbooth has become a danger to road users and must be removed immediately.
