Throw back, August 4, 1974: Historic feat as Ghana changed over to driving on the right

Over half a century later, one can look back and admit that the decision to switch driving from the left to the right and to change our measuring system has served our country well.

It is exactly 52 years since Ghana made the bold decision to ditch some inherited legacy of the British colonial system by switching from driving on the left to driving on the right.

Benkum, benkum, yaagyae”, literally meaning we have stopped driving on the left; right is the right way”, still rings a bell when one talks about the switch over to driving on the right.
