One would`ve thought the authorities would`ve done all the things pointed out by Manasseh before the enforcement which is a good and potentially life saving law. Sometimes one wonders if our leaders are good enough.
Wise comment.
A good system being badly implemented. The objective should be a deterrent rather than a punishment. Our country is simply not properly planned for such a system. Let's go slooooowly!
It's always the implementation that turns a good idea into a bad one.
Keep playing dumb. A few tickets will straighten your ass out.
Wonderful NDC and NPP zombies, always displaying their incredible stupidity by defending anything that happens under their respective party's rule. @Kweku Tsin and Nzema-K, what are really defending in this matter? Let everyo ...

Who told Manasseh that these places do not have the sign post. I am tempted to think that Manasseh conspires with the scrap boys to remove the signpost

A STUPID NORTHERN IDIOT CALLED MANASSEH.
What is the Sense in this SILLY WRITE-UP??
So the Law should wait until Signboards are erected all over the country before implementation??
MAD ANIMAL!!!, MAD COW!!!

I’m wondering if Manasseh has a driver’s license!! You learn about speed limits when applying for a drivers license.
Stupid Land. Go ask you grandfather if they were no spoed signs many years ago before Ghana became a zoo run by a generation of lazy minds and lazy actors.

@Bernard, no wonder Manasseh is the Ghana's star journalist. Speed limit within a residential area worldwide is 30. It has nothing to do with good or bad road network. Ghanaians are always complaining about bad roads in the c ...

You are right. A lot streets in Accra have no road signs.

How long must drivers be educated before obeying traffic regulations. We seem to be lawless and oppose any meaningful laws.
Stop defending nonsense.

You have not provided enough security on our major highways and you expect drivers to drive at 80km/h at midnight 12am along a road such Tamale to Techiman stretch.

Do you always have to come out to criticise, drivers who got their licence by attending driving school lessons understand road signs.
How did you get your driving licence without knowing those rules? Before you pass your theory test you must know those speed limits.
You can blame any sign posts. Ignorance journalists
You seem not to understand what he said, I understand you have to drive under 30 in a school zone but how do I know there's a school ahead for be to slow down to 30? Do I go 50 and suddenly brake to 30 at the school gate?
