Drivers facing alleged violations under the TraffiTech system in Ghana have a 14-day window to contest the tickets, according to ACP Alexander Kwaku Obeng, Director of Education, Research and Training at the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service. In an interview on JoyNews' Newsfile, ACP Obeng informed the public that drivers can contest the tickets either online through the courts or by visiting a police station.

He also highlighted that the police have opened additional offices closer to the public, such as the Tudu office, to facilitate this process. If a driver fails to comply with the electronic notice of violation within the 14-day period, a 1% penalty will be added to the fine starting from the 15th day. TraffiTech-GH, the automated traffic enforcement system launched on November 1, 2026, employs cameras and technology to detect traffic offenses and issue electronic tickets.

Penalties for various traffic offenses include fines ranging from GH¢120 to GH¢2,400 and imprisonment for up to 40 months for severe violations such as drunk driving.
