MONROVIA – The Liberia National Police (LNP) has announced a restructuring of its ‘No Go Zone’ restriction for motorcyclists, set to take effect on Wednesday, May 15, 2024.
The decision, revealed in a press release issued today, was made by the LNP Inspector General, Hon. Gregory O. W. Coleman, following a productive meeting with the Vice President of Liberia, Jeremiah K. Koung, and Heads of the Federation of motorcycle and tricycle unions at the Capitol Building in Monrovia on Thursday, May 9, 2024.
Under the restructured restrictions, motorcyclists traveling from ELWA to Broad Street must adhere to the following regulations:
- The May 15, 2024, ‘No Go Zone’ restriction for motorcyclists traveling from Red Light to Freeport remains in effect.
- All bikes must be registered at the Ministry of Transport and insured.
- Motorcyclists are permitted to carry only one passenger, and both rider and passenger must wear helmets.
- Motorbikes must be equipped with reflective jackets, protective shoes, and a pair of view mirrors.
The Liberia National Police, under its leadership, has granted a three-month grace period for motorcyclists to regularize their status. This move is aimed at ensuring the safety and compliance of motorcyclists with the new regulations.
