The Ghana Police Service will commence the full implementation of its automated traffic law enforcement programme, TRAFFITECH-GH, from October 1, 2026.
According to a statement by the Police on Tuesday, September 15, the programme will be implemented through the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) as part of efforts to address indiscipline on Ghana’s roads and improve compliance with road traffic laws.
“The Ghana Police Service, through the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD), will commence full implementation of its automated traffic law enforcement programme, TRAFFITECH-GH, from 1st October 2026.”
Under the programme, cameras and Personal Data Assistant (PDA) devices will be used to detect traffic offences and support the enforcement of road traffic laws.
“TRAFFITECH-GH will use cameras and Personal Data Assistant (PDA) devices to detect traffic offences and support the enforcement of road traffic laws.”
The Police said offences detected through the system will be reviewed before Electronic Notices of Violation (ENV) are issued to vehicle owners or drivers through SMS.
“Under the programme, detected offences will be reviewed and Electronic Notices of Violation (ENV) issued to vehicle owners or drivers through SMS. The notice will indicate the offence committed and the prescribed fine.”
The Service said the rollout forms part of efforts to promote safer roads and reduce traffic-related offences.
“The Service therefore urges all motorists, drivers and vehicle owners to comply with road traffic regulations and support the implementation of TRAFFITECH-GH to promote safer roads and reduce road traffic crashes and casualties.”
TRAFFITECH-GH is an automated system developed by the Ghana Police Service to enforce road traffic laws and regulations.
The system uses cameras and sensors to capture offences such as speeding and running red lights, while other offences can be recorded using handheld PDA devices.
The Police Service has been operating the system on a pilot basis ahead of the full rollout. Under the system, electronic violation notices are sent to the registered owner of a vehicle when an offence is validated.
The full implementation from October 1 will therefore introduce automated traffic enforcement on a wider scale, with motorists expected to comply with road traffic laws and regulations.
