The Ghana Police Service has postponed the full implementation of its automated traffic law enforcement programme, TRAFFITECH-GH, to November 1, 2026. Initially set to launch on October 1, 2026, the programme is being implemented through the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD). This decision aims to allow for more extensive public awareness and education on the programme's operations.
According to a press release signed by Deputy Superintendent of Police, Richmond Mensah, the education will focus on the operations of the system, specific traffic offences it will detect, and the Electronic Notices of Violation (ENV) that will be issued to offending motorists. The Police Service stated that TRAFFITECH-GH is part of efforts to address indiscipline on Ghana's roads and improve compliance with road traffic laws and regulations.
The programme's implementation was rescheduled to enable motorists, drivers, and vehicle owners to familiarise themselves with the programme ahead of its rollout. The Police Service has urged the public to take advantage of the additional one-month window to learn about the programme. This move is expected to ensure a smooth rollout and successful implementation of the programme.
The Ghana Police Service expressed gratitude to the media for their support throughout the introduction of the project. The Service reaffirmed its commitment to working with stakeholders to ensure successful implementation for improved road safety. This programme is a significant step towards enhancing road safety in Ghana.
