The Ghana Police Service has begun preparations for the rollout of the Traffictech-GH automated traffic enforcement system. The Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) in collaboration with its private sector partner organised a training session in the Volta Region. The training, which took place on September 24, 2026, at the Stevens Hotel Conference Room in Ho, brought together 45 participants. They included MTTD personnel and representatives of key public sector partners.
The training session forms part of preparations to operationalise Traffictech-GH from October 1, 2026. Participants were taken through the operation of the automated enforcement system. This included road traffic offences and fines under Regulation 242. The implementation of Traffictech-GH and the process for contesting traffic violations were also discussed. The goal is to strengthen automated detection and enforcement of road traffic offences.
The selected back-office team for the region received practical training on the use of in-vehicle fixed cameras. They also learned about handheld and tripod LaserCam4 speed cameras. The training provided participants with an overview of the Road Traffic Regulations, 2026 (L.I. 2519). The Road Traffic (Amendment) Act, 2025 (Act 1153) was also covered.
The Ho training was the fifth and final session in a nationwide series of enforcement training programmes. The Volta Regional back office has been equipped with the updated Traffictech-GH software at the Regional MTTD Office in Ho. This is expected to improve coordination among institutions involved in road safety and traffic management.
The new system aims to strengthen automated detection and enforcement of road traffic offences. It will also improve coordination among institutions involved in road safety and traffic management. The training brought together participants from various institutions. These included the Judicial Service, National Road Safety Authority (NRSA), National Insurance Commission (NIC), and Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA).
The MTTD has been issuing cautions to drivers during the trial phase of Traffictech-GH. Over 10,000 speeding cautions were issued during the trial phase. The system will also help to reduce the incidence of road accidents.
Repeat traffic violations captured under Traffictech-GH could lead to licence revocation. The Ghana Police Service is working to ensure that the system is effective. The system will be implemented nationwide, starting with the Volta Region.
