ZWEDRU, Grand Gedeh County — The Liberia National Police (LNP) Grand Gedeh County Traffic Detachment has intensified its enforcement of Liberia’s anti-noise pollution policy, destroying 315 MP3 music players seized from motorcyclists and round-town traders across Zwedru.
The move comes as police authorities step up efforts to curb the widespread use of loud music systems on motorcycles and in commercial areas, which authorities say contributes to noise pollution and public disturbance.
According to the LNP Grand Gedeh Traffic Detachment, the seized devices were confiscated during ongoing traffic and enforcement operations targeting motorbike riders and traders who allegedly violated regulations governing the use of loud sound systems.
The police also destroyed several megaphones seized during the enforcement exercise, signaling a tougher approach toward individuals who continue to disregard traffic and public-order regulations.
Chief Inspector Hassan Kamara, of the LNP Grand Gedeh Traffic Detachment, has warned motorists, commercial drivers, motorcyclists, and other road users to take traffic regulations seriously.
He urged motorists and commercial drivers to comply with established traffic rules, stressing that the police will continue enforcement operations against violations.
The latest destruction sends a strong message that the LNP is prepared to take decisive action against unauthorized or excessive use of sound systems that disturb public peace.Police authorities are expected to sustain the crackdown as part of broader efforts to improve road safety, maintain public order, and enforce traffic regulations across Zwedru and other parts of Grand Gedeh County.
The LNP says motorists and traders who violate the regulations should expect continued enforcement rather than leniency.
