The Graphic advises drivers to refrain from this negative practice which only goes to undermine efforts to promote road safety. It also calls on the law enforcement agencies to as a matter of urgency, take every necessary steps to block all these unapproved u-turns on the roads and punish drivers who flout these road signs to serve as a deterrent to others.

The Ghanaian Times says from reports received, it appears help is yet to get to the area as some of the people still have their belonging left in the open.
