The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has expressed concerns over inadequate road infrastructure ahead of the implementation of stricter traffic enforcement measures as part of TRAFFITECH-GH. GPRTU's Deputy Communications Director, Samuel Amoah, highlighted issues with road signs, markings, bus stops, and pedestrian walkways during an appearance on the GTV Breakfast Show on October 12, 2026.
Amoah questioned the readiness of Ghana's roads for full enforcement, particularly in areas where road signs and markings were missing. The GPRTU has already engaged the police administration regarding the proposed enforcement measures, which will initially focus on speeding and red light violations. Amoah emphasized that traffic enforcement should prioritize road safety and compliance with regulations rather than revenue collection.
He stressed the need for renewed driver education at transport terminals and commercial transport businesses to promote safer driving and adherence to traffic regulations.
