TRUCK PUSHERS ON THE STREET OF ACCRA


 Metal scrap dealers or truck pushers are notified all over the country as people who deal in metal and aluminium waste respectively. most young people have travelled from various parts of the country to the capital only to make ends meet by dealing in these metal waste.
pulling trucks along and across the street needs much attention to prevent any form of accident from occuring. These young and vibrant men use the same road as motorist do and it is very dangerous . Their activities also disfigure the beauty of some part of the community. example is that of the Allajo interchange. The interchange which was constructed a few years ago has not been spared the activities of the encroachers, with the eastern part of the overhead bridge turned into a dumping site for all manner of waste not to mention that of the korle lagoon.
These truck pushers pose a danger to motorist as well, creating inconveniences  for pedestrian. These trucks are without breaking system, therefore the pushers cannot control them incase of any dangerous situation that may cost them their lives.
