The Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service has issued over 10,000 speeding cautions during the trial phase of the Traffitech-GH enforcement system, according to ACP Alexander Obeng. Traffitech-GH is an automated traffic enforcement system that utilizes roadside cameras, sensors, and mobile devices to detect and record road traffic violations.
The system is set to become operational nationwide from October 1, 2026. ACP Obeng revealed that the police began testing the equipment following its official launch by the Inspector General of Police on September 15, 2026. The equipment will be deployed at selected points on major roads, primarily targeting overspeeding offenses.
Motorists who exceed the speed limit will receive an automatic electronic notice on their mobile phones, detailing the violation and the associated fine. The MTTD is actively educating motorists about the system's operation and encourages compliance with speed limits. Affected individuals have up to 15 days to challenge the notice or pay the fine, with additional penalties for late compliance.
