As a former British colony, Ghana began its independent life in 1957 with a rule of the road which nominally required vehicles to drive on the left hand side. However, all the countries bordering Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, Togo and Upper Volta (Now Burkina Faso), having been French colonies, drove on the right. There were some advantages to be gained at border crossings from the adoption of a common system and it was also observed that in Ghana taxis, which made up about half of road traffic, seemed to prefer to drive on the right. So the National Redemption Council (NRC) government of General Ignatius Kutu Acheampong decided to change the rule of the road and designated the fourth of August 1974 as the fateful day.
