President John Dramani Mahama has directed the Minister for Roads and Highways, Governs Kwame Agbodza, to identify and clearly mark selected roads in Accra for contraflow operations as part of efforts to improve traffic management in the capital.

The Minister for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, Mahama Ayariga, disclosed this on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, while discussing the government’s contraflow arrangements.

According to Mr Ayariga, the President has instructed the Roads and Highways Minister to ensure that roads undergoing reconstruction make adequate provisions for clearly marked contraflow lanes.

He explained that the markings would alert motorists and other road users to sections of the road designated for vehicles travelling in the opposite direction during specific peak-hour periods.

“He [The President] directed the Roads Minister to make provisions in the new reconstructions that are taking place. Proper marking of the contraflow sides so that the public is aware that that side of the road, during certain peak hours, will be available for buses that will be moving in the opposite direction,” he said.

Mr Ayariga said the markings would help motorists identify lanes reserved for Ayalolo buses, reducing the risk of confusion and disorder when the contraflow system is in operation.

He explained that the intervention is intended to improve the efficiency of the arrangement by allowing the buses to transport commuters without unnecessary interference from other vehicles.

The directive forms part of broader government efforts to strengthen public transportation and ease traffic congestion in Accra.
