  "account": "The Ghana Police Service's Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) is set to install standardized speed camera warning signs on major roads across the nation, as part of the Traffitech initiative. The signs are currently under production and will inform drivers of the presence of speed cameras and video monitoring systems at particular locations. This move aims to align Ghana's road signage with international best practices and enhance public awareness of speed enforcement activities.\n\nACP Alexander Obeng, the Director of Education and Training at MTTD, made this announcement during an interview on Joy FM's Super Morning Show (SMS) on Monday, November 9. He stated that the decision to install these warning signs stemmed from the collaboration between the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) and road engineers to create an approved standard sign for speed camera locations. Obeng explained that Ghana's existing road traffic regulations lacked provisions for a specific speed camera warning sign, referencing Regulation 40(8) of the Fourth Schedule of the road traffic regulations, which did not include such a designated sign.\n\nHowever, Obeng noted that the police, in partnership with road engineers, have now developed a standardized sign to tackle this issue. He revealed that the production of these new signs was underway, while surveys were being conducted to pinpoint suitable sites for their installation. The signs are expected to be rolled out in the coming days, particularly on major roads where speed enforcement and monitoring are deemed essential.\n\nThe proposed sign, which features the messages '24-hour video monitoring' and 'Speed kills, kill it now', warns motorists that their driving behavior is under surveillance and reminds them of the dangers of excessive speed. Obeng presented an image of the sign during the interview, emphasizing that it is still under production and has not yet been installed on the roads. He assured that these signs will be placed at locations selected based on the outcomes of the ongoing surveys and in accordance with recognized road safety practices.",
