NRSA directs road agencies to fix faulty traffic lights, missing signs as TraffiTech enforcement begins
The National Road Safety Authority (NRSA) has directed the Ghana Highway Authority and the Department of Urban Roads to urgently repair faulty traffic lights, replace missing road signs and restore faded road markings as the country’s digital traffic enforcement system, TraffiTech, begins operation.
The National Road Safety Authority (NRSA) has instructed the Ghana Highway Authority and Department of Urban Roads to repair faulty traffic lights, replace missing road signs and restore damaged markings as the digital traffic enforcement system TraffiTech-GH begins operation. In a letter sent on November 3, the Authority expressed alarm over the poor state of road infrastructure, warning it could jeopardize the effectiveness of TraffiTech-GH.
The directive comes as TraffiTech-GH, a tech-driven system, aims to enforce road traffic regulations and promote safer driving. The NRSA cited issues such as malfunctioning traffic lights, missing signs, illegible signage and faded markings as critical problems requiring immediate action. The Authority emphasized that the new system depends on functional road infrastructure and called for prompt remedial works, particularly at high-risk locations, with timelines for completion. Failure to address these issues could lead to formal compliance notices and potential legal action.
