  "account": "Beginning 1st October 2026, Ghana's Ghana Police Service will introduce Traffitech-GH, an automated traffic camera system. This system helps enforce road traffic laws and reduce accidents by using cameras and sensors to catch vehicles breaking rules. Motorists should be aware of what they can be fined for and how the system works.\n\nTraffitech-GH uses fixed cameras, mobile units, and laser speed devices to catch speeding, running red lights, driving without insurance, not wearing seatbelts, driving with expired licences, and more. If a vehicle is caught breaking a law, the Police will review the footage and send an electronic ticket, called an Electronic Notice of Violation (ENV), to the vehicle owner via SMS. The message will include the Ticket Number, location, date, time, vehicle registration number, offence description, fine amount, and payment deadline.\n\nMotorists have 14 days to either pay the fine or contest it online. They can review the evidence on www.ghana.gov.gh using the Ticket Number. Payment can be made through mobile money, debit or credit card, or by dialing *222#. If payment is not made within the 14-day window, a 1% penalty is added to the fine for each extra day.\n\nLiability falls on the vehicle owner, not the individual driving at the time. Owners who no longer drive their vehicles are still responsible for unpaid fines. To contest a fine, motorists must do so online within 14 days of receiving the ENV. Once a fine is paid, it cannot be contested again. Fines will affect a driver's ability to renew a licence, register or transfer vehicles, or get roadworthiness inspections. The system covers all types of vehicles on Ghana's roads, and penalties will apply to any unpaid fines.",
