The government will introduce contra-flow lanes for Ayalolo Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) services on three major routes into Accra’s Central Business District from Tuesday, September 29, 2026.
The arrangement will operate during peak hours — 6am to 9am in the morning and 4pm to 8pm in the evening — along the Amasaman–Accra, Adenta–Accra and Kasoa–Accra corridors.
Selected sections of the roads will be temporarily configured to allow authorised Ayalolo buses to travel against the normal flow of traffic towards the CBD in the morning and in the opposite direction during the evening peak.
The Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs said the measure is intended to improve the reliability and punctuality of Ayalolo services, reduce journey times and ease congestion on major approaches to the CBD.
The designated contra-flow lanes will be strictly reserved for Ayalolo buses. Private vehicles, taxis, trotros, commercial vehicles and other unauthorised road users will not be allowed to use them.
The Motor Traffic and Transport Department of the Ghana Police Service will provide traffic control and enforcement support at strategic locations and major intersections along the affected routes.
Government has urged motorists, commercial transport operators, pedestrians, businesses and residents along the corridors to cooperate with traffic officers as the arrangement is implemented.
