The Ghana Police Service has intercepted 1,054 vehicles in the Greater Accra Region as part of an ongoing nationwide enforcement exercise targeting the unauthorised use of sirens, horns, beacon lights, strobe lights and improper vehicle modifications.
The Ghana Police Service says it has intercepted 1,054 vehicles in the Greater Accra Region for offences including the unauthorised use of sirens, beacon lights, strobe lights and other illegal vehicle modifications.
The interceptions form part of a nationwide enforcement exercise launched on June 15, 2026, to clamp down on motorists who breach provisions of the Road Traffic Regulations.
The Police said the exercise is aimed at addressing the growing practice where some private vehicles are fitted with accessories reserved for emergency and authorised vehicles.
According to the Service, drivers found with the unauthorised devices were educated on the law, while the illegal fittings were removed and seized.
A statement from the Police noted that the exercise has so far led to the interception of 4,627 vehicles nationwide.
The Service said the misuse of sirens, horns and warning lights creates confusion on the roads and can affect the smooth movement of traffic, especially when motorists use them to gain unfair advantage over other road users.
The Police have warned drivers and vehicle owners to desist from fitting unauthorised accessories onto their vehicles, adding that the nationwide operation will continue.
Motorists have been advised to comply with traffic regulations to avoid sanctions as authorities intensify measures to promote discipline on the roads.
