President Mahama addressed motorists' concerns about TraffiTech-GH fines, advising them to prioritize adhering to speed limits instead of complaining about the cost of penalties. He emphasized that obeying traffic rules would keep drivers out of trouble, stating, “If it [fines] is too expensive, then don’t overspend; that’s all, there is a solution to it.”
The President discussed the rollout of TraffiTech-GH during a visit to Antigua and Barbuda for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting. He defended the technology, asserting that enforcing speed limits was crucial for reducing reckless driving and accidents. Despite concerns about the system's fairness, especially given the poor road conditions, Mahama defended the initiative, comparing speed cameras in the UK to the new technology.
He urged police and enforcement agencies to install clear warning signs for speed cameras to ensure motorists are adequately informed. Highlighting the dangers of speeding, particularly to children, Mahama stressed that avoiding speeding was the most effective way to prevent accidents and protect vulnerable road users.
