Police to fully implement TRAFFITECH-GH from October 1

• TRAFFITECH-GH will be fully implemented from October 1, 2026.

• The system will use cameras and PDA devices to detect traffic offences.

• Violators will receive Electronic Notices of Violation via SMS, including prescribed fines.

The programme, being implemented through the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD), is part of efforts to tackle indiscipline on Ghana’s roads and improve compliance with road traffic laws and regulations.

In a press release dated September 15, 2026, and signed by Deputy Superintendent of Police Richmond Mensah, Staff Officer at the Public Affairs Directorate, the Police Service said TRAFFITECH-GH will rely on technology to detect traffic offences and support enforcement.

“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,” the statement said.

The system will use cameras and Personal Data Assistant (PDA) devices to identify motorists who violate traffic regulations.

According to the Police Service, offences detected through the system will be reviewed before an Electronic Notice of Violation (ENV) is issued to the vehicle owner or driver via SMS.

The electronic notice will provide details of the offence as well as the prescribed fine applicable to the violation.

The introduction of the system comes as the Police Service seeks to strengthen traffic enforcement through technology while encouraging motorists to observe road safety regulations.

The Service has therefore urged drivers, motorists and vehicle owners to familiarise themselves with road traffic laws and comply with the regulations ahead of the full rollout.
