Ghana Police to begin full implementation of TRAFFITECH-GH on October 1

Story by: Regina Bless

The Ghana Police Service, through the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD), is set to commence the full implementation of its automated traffic law enforcement programme, TRAFFITECH-GH, on 1st October 2026.

The initiative forms part of efforts by the Service to tackle road traffic indiscipline and improve compliance with traffic laws and regulations across the country.

Under TRAFFITECH-GH, cameras and Personal Data Assistant (PDA) devices will be used to detect traffic offences and support the enforcement of road traffic regulations.

Detected offences will subsequently be reviewed, after which Electronic Notices of Violation (ENV) will be issued to vehicle owners or drivers via SMS. The electronic notice will provide details of the offence committed and the prescribed fine.

The Ghana Police Service is therefore urging motorists, drivers and vehicle owners to strictly observe road traffic regulations as the automated enforcement programme takes full effect.

The Service says public cooperation with TRAFFITECH-GH will be important in promoting responsible driving, improving road safety and reducing road traffic crashes and related casualties.

With the full implementation scheduled for October 1, motorists are being encouraged to familiarise themselves with traffic regulations and exercise greater caution on the roads.
