Ten cedis (ghć10) per car. They shouldn't joke with this piece of advice.

Moreso, they should put people with character in charge.

Absolutely. Every regional entrance needs an electronic and human toll. You can pay or buy an ezpass which gives you a discount i think you can research tolls in the tri-state infact entering Canada from America must pay a toll at the US border. Such revenues can be used to maintain and widen several of these inter regional highways and regional roads across the country

I think the road tolls should be added to the road-worthy certificates. This will ensure every road user pays tolls in Ghana. This would ensure revenues accrue to the government monthly. A system should be infused into the dvla system that would guarantee efficient revenue collection from the road-worthy certificate payments. Cars entering Ghana would need to buy a road-worthy certificate at the point of entry. The current system of road toll collection is quite problematic( theft, misappropriation, diversion of funds, traffic, safety etc.)

The minister who abolished the road tolls must be prosecuted by Mahama for causing financial loss to the country. He should be arrested and jailed.

Bringing the Road Toll back is stupidity and aimed at scoring political points. But that is a bad news cos it will create mor traffic on our roads. Can't they figure out a better way of raising tax?

Ato much does the road tolls bring? You cancel betting tax which has devastating effect on the youth development, but reintroducing road toll with its negative economic impact.Short - sightedness in thinking.

Please don't bring back toll booths to add to traffic congestion. Let every vehicle owner, including motorbike owners pay road toll by a workable mechanism through say, gcb.

Hmm, We have forgotten the long hours we experienced in traffic just to pay toll.
Hope Ghanaians will not complain when the toll and the traffic is back

increase the number of toll booths n make some electronic pay with your debit card or buy a toll pass. tap n go. all these will ease congestion. as you get closer to the toll booth you will have signs that tell you where to go. if you have a tollpass you will have a designated lane. if you are paying cash or debit or bank card you will have a lane. construction must begin asap

Excellent bring them back and every single vehicle must pay except the security agencies diplomats or international bodies must pay
Get the IT and computer guys to develop a software and payment should be electronic any road that has a loan component must be taxed and potion of the toll allocated to a code for the area
Part of the toll will be for loan repayments maintenance and payment of salaries
Standards must be set and any portion not properly maintained does not get a portion of its grants
This will generate jobs and there should be decentralization

Using private sector organisations to man the booths and collect the tolls as done in western countries will ensure efficiency and accountability.
