‘Get the traffic lights working first’ – Efia Odo reacts to TRAFFITECH-GH rollout

• Efia Odo has questioned the rollout of the Ghana Police Service’s TRAFFITECH-GH initiative, saying authorities should also address faulty traffic lights.

• She described the traffic camera initiative as a good idea but argued that functional traffic lights should be prioritised.

• Her comments have sparked discussion about traffic management, road infrastructure and the use of technology to enforce road laws in Ghana.

In a post on X on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, Efia Odo acknowledged the potential of the initiative but argued that improving existing road infrastructure should also be treated as a priority.

Her comments come as the Ghana Police Service moves to use technology to strengthen traffic enforcement and improve compliance with road safety regulations.

According to Efia Odo, installing traffic cameras while some traffic lights remain out of service could create challenges for motorists.
