The Ghana Institution of Geoscientists (GhIG) has recommended, as a matter of urgency, the creation of safety buffer zones for roads in mountainous and hilly regions from the roads to the toes of the hills.
Furthermore, steep slope along road stretches should be stabilised.
"Where necessary, various rock support techniques should be incorporated, such as rock or cable bolting, retaining walls, geosynthetics and appropriate wire meshing," the institution advised, in a press release in Accra.
