GPRTU wants full TRAFFITECH-GH implementation to start in 2027
The Ghana Private Road Transport Union has asked the police to postpone the full implementation of TRAFFITECH-GH to 2027, citing concerns over inadequate preparation and public education ahead of the November 1 rollout.
The Ghana Private Road Transport Union has requested the police to delay the full implementation of TRAFFITECH-GH to 2027, expressing concerns about insufficient preparation and public education prior to its November 1 launch. Deputy Public Relations Officer Samuel Amoah stated that the required infrastructure and enforcement equipment must be in place before the system is rolled out.
While acknowledging the system's potential to enhance road discipline, Amoah questioned whether authorities were adequately prepared. He emphasized that drivers will comply, and police will no longer disturb drivers or extort money, but questioned the readiness of necessary infrastructure. Some police officers, according to Amoah, did not fully comprehend the system's operation.
He urged authorities to utilize the remaining time to educate motorists and ensure officers were adequately prepared before enforcement begins. Amoah also called for the provision of necessary devices to aid police officers in checking drivers' licenses and other documents, cautioning against prioritizing revenue from traffic offences over road safety and compliance.
