Suspend TRAFFITECH-GH rollout until road defects are fixed — CUTS

International policy think tank CUTS has urged the temporary suspension of the TRAFFITECH-GH project rollout in Accra. The group argues that faulty traffic lights, faded road markings, and inadequate speed-limit signs at enforcement locations need to be repaired before activating the automated traffic enforcement system. CUTS believes that deploying the technology under current road conditions could lead to motorists receiving fines for offenses they might have avoided if signals and markings had been clear.

The think tank suggests that clear and visible signage is essential for effective law enforcement on Ghanaian roads.
