MONROVIA, LIBERIA-The Liberian National Police (LNP) is warning commercial vendors against selling within designated areas where overhead bridges are under construction.

The police placed specific emphasis on the Tubman Boulevard corridor, from Tubman Boulevard Junction to the Zone Three Police Depot in Congo Town.

Police Authorities noted that the measure is intended to protect lives and property, prevent obstruction of construction activities, and allow contractors to complete their work without interference.

Street vendors have been instructed to immediately vacate the construction area, as violators risk being arrested in line with applicable laws.

The police are therefore urging the public to respect the restriction and cooperate with authorities to ensure the safety of road users and residents around the construction site.

At the same time, the Inspector General of the Liberia National Police, Col. Gregory Coleman, has expressed concern over the high rate of road traffic accidents across Liberia.

Col. Coleman attributed this to drivers’ lack of knowledge and disregard of traffic rules, calling for stronger enforcement and road safety awareness.

The police chief spoke on Saturday, November 6, 2026, during a meeting with heads of various operational divisions of the police at the National Police Headquarters on Capitol Hill in Monrovia.

Col. Coleman also commended police officers for their continued efforts in maintaining national peace, combating crimes, and protecting lives and property, despite the existing operational constraints.

Col. Gregory Coleman then urged officers to enforce the law without fear or favor, emphasizing that no one is above the law.
