Police Service cautions motorists against fake traffic fine messages under Traffitech-GH
The Ghana Police Service has cautioned motorists and vehicle owners against fraudulent traffic fine notifications, following the official commencement of the Traffitech-GH automated traffic enforcement project on November 1, 2026.
Receiving a Traffitech-GH violation notice may indicate an unforeseen fine, but it is crucial to first confirm the notice's legitimacy before proceeding with payment. Ghana's new automated traffic enforcement system, Traffitech-GH, is set to begin on November 1, 2026. The Ghana Police Service has provided guidance on how motorists can verify electronic traffic tickets and pay fines through authorized channels.
To ascertain the authenticity of a traffic violation notice, motorists should examine the sender ID. Genuine notifications will display the official sender ID GPS-MTTD, while illegitimate notices will not originate from ordinary mobile phone numbers. Upon opening the Electronic Notice of Violation (ENV) or ticket, motorists should scrutinize the provided information, such as the vehicle's photograph and registration number, the location of the alleged violation, and the date and time recorded.
Video evidence, if available, should also be reviewed to gain a clearer understanding of the incident. Once the ticket's legitimacy is confirmed, motorists can settle their fines via two approved methods. The first option involves visiting the National Investment Bank (NIB) payment portal at https://traffitech-ghpay.nib.com.gh, selecting the Make Payment option, and entering their ticket number.
After verifying the ticket details, motorists can complete the payment process by following the provided prompts. Alternatively, those who prefer using their mobile devices can pay through the USSD option by dialling *710*0# and adhering to the instructions with their ticket numbers. The Ghana Police Service urges motorists to exercise caution and avoid paying fines into personal mobile money accounts or through unofficial channels.
The Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) has cautioned against such practices, emphasizing the importance of using only the authorized payment channels and verifying tickets before making any transaction. For further assistance or inquiries regarding Traffitech-GH notices and payments, the public can reach out to the MTTD at 059 692 2402.
