The Ghana Police Service says it will begin full implementation of an automated traffic law enforcement programme, dubbed TRAFFITECH-GH, from October 1, 2026, as part of a broader push to curb indiscipline on the country’s roads.
In a press release signed by Deputy Superintendent of Police Richmond Mensah, Staff Officer for Public Affairs, the Service said the initiative, run through its Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD), is designed to improve compliance with road traffic laws and regulations nationwide.
According to the statement, TRAFFITECH-GH will rely on a combination of cameras and Personal Data Assistant (PDA) devices to detect traffic offences and support enforcement efforts on the country’s roads.
Once an offence is detected, it will be reviewed internally before an Electronic Notice of Violation (ENV) is issued to the vehicle owner or driver via SMS. The notice, the police explained, will spell out both the specific offence committed and the prescribed fine attached to it.
The Service used the announcement to appeal to motorists, drivers and vehicle owners to comply with road traffic regulations and support the rollout of the new system, describing it as a step toward safer roads and a reduction in traffic crashes and casualties across the country.
Members of the public seeking more information on how the programme will work have been directed to a dedicated link shared in the police statement.
The introduction of TRAFFITECH-GH marks one of the most significant technology-driven interventions yet by the Ghana Police Service in its efforts to enforce road traffic compliance, and comes against the backdrop of persistent concerns over indiscipline and road safety on Ghanaian highways.
With less than a month before its official start date, motorists across the country are expected to face closer scrutiny of their driving behaviour once the automated system goes live in October.
The official letter from the Ghana Police Service
TRAFFITECH-GH FULL IMPLEMENTATION TO COMMENCE 1ST OCTOBER 2026
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 programme forms part of efforts by the Service to address indiscipline on Ghana’s roads and improve compliance with road traffic laws and regulations.
TRAFFITECH-GH will use cameras and Personal Data Assistant (PDA) devices to detect traffic offences and support the enforcement of road traffic regulations.
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 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.
