Policeman Stops Tro-Tro...on Spintex Road
Looks like someone's going to have a bad day. I'm thinking it's the tro-tro driver whom I presume is in the green t-shirt.
Scenes like these are common Ghanaian currency, especially in the mornings when Ghanaians are going to work. Tro-tro drivers often capitalise on the chaos of traffic to do all sort of unconventional things, such as driving on shoulders and whatnot. Occasionally, a hawk-eyed police officer will put paid to such antics! The other side of the coin is that the police officer will necessarily stop a tro-tro driver, knowing he can extort money from him!
You pick your choice;-)

Is a Tro-Tro similar to a taxi or a bus? This is an interesting photo of an interesting problem. Congratulations on 50 years of independence. I have enjoyed looking at your blog today and looking at your photographs.
