On Wednesday, November 4, about three more people were knocked down at Dominase Junction.

“Construction must never become an excuse for the loss of innocent lives. It should come with increased safety measures, not increased danger,” it said.

The group wants makeshift ramps, rumble strips, visible speed-limit signs and clear roadworks warnings installed along the highway.

The Concerned Youth of Gomoa East said decisive steps were needed to prevent further loss of life along the Buduburam-Okyereko stretch.
