The Ghana Police Service has confirmed that Okada, Pragya, and Aboboyaa riders are subject to the new TraffiTech-GH traffic enforcement system, which began operations on November 1, 2026. This automated monitoring system detects traffic violations and issues electronic fines without stopping motorists. The system covers all categories of motor vehicles using public roads, including commercial motorcycles and tricycles.
According to the Ghana Police Service's official TraffiTech frequently asked questions, the system uses speed cameras, sensors, and electronic devices to record offences. Evidence is reviewed before a fine is issued. Okada operators transporting passengers, Pragya riders, and Aboboyaa operators carrying goods can face penalties for traffic violations. The police stated that TraffiTech-GH applies to all classes of motor vehicles using Ghana's public roads.
Under the initial phase of TraffiTech enforcement, speeding is the primary offence being targeted. The minimum speeding fine is GH¢240 for motorists travelling between 5km/h and 20km/h above the prescribed limit. More serious speeding offences attract higher penalties, depending on the extent of the violation. An Electronic Notice of Violation is sent to the registered vehicle owner's phone number once an offence is confirmed.
The registered vehicle owner has 14 days to pay the fine or challenge the allegation through the approved online process. Failure to pay within the stipulated period attracts an additional penalty of 1% of the original fine for each day of default. Riders are advised to observe speed limits, as operating a motorcycle or tricycle does not exempt them from TraffiTech enforcement.
Drivers have mapped over 100 TraffiTech-GH speed cameras across Accra and Kumasi using the Glydr app. However, with many cameras mounted in police vehicles or set up on tripods, the crowd-sourced map is only a guide, and drivers could encounter a camera almost anywhere.
The introduction of TraffiTech-GH aims to improve road safety and reduce traffic violations. The Ghana Police Service encourages all motorists, including Okada, Pragya, and Aboboyaa riders, to adhere to traffic regulations and avoid fines. The system is designed to promote a culture of compliance and responsibility among all road users.
The implementation of TraffiTech-GH is part of a broader effort to enhance road safety and enforcement in Ghana. The Ghana Police Service will continue to engage with the public and provide education on the new system and its requirements. Motorists can access information on TraffiTech-GH and the fine payment process through the police's website and social media channels.
