  "account": "Today, November 1, 2026, the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of Ghana launches the TraffiTech-GH digital traffic enforcement system, aimed at detecting speeding offenses. Police cameras mounted in vehicles and on tripods will capture vehicles exceeding speed limits, with the MTTD processing the footage and sending electronic violation notices directly to the phones of vehicle owners. The system targets speeding at high-risk locations and will initially focus on exceeding speed limits: 50 km/h in towns, 90 km/h on highways, and 100 km/h on motorways. After receiving a notice, vehicle owners have 14 days to pay the fine or contest the offense in court. The digital system aims to reduce roadside arrests and streamline enforcement, while still allowing manual enforcement of other traffic violations. Commercial transport operators oppose the rollout, threatening nationwide service suspension as the cameras begin operation.",
  "summary": "The MTTD has launched TraffiTech-GH today, using cameras to catch speeding drivers and sending e-notices with video evidence to vehicle owners’ phones.",
