The Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service, in collaboration with a private-sector partner, has trained selected police personnel and public-sector stakeholders in preparation for the operationalisation of the Traffitech-GH road traffic enforcement system. The training, which took place on September 24, 2026, at the Stevens Hotel Conference Room in Ho, Volta Region, was the fifth and final session in a series of nationwide enforcement training programmes.
A total of 45 participants attended the training, including MTTD personnel from Ho and representatives from the Judicial Service, National Road Safety Authority (NRSA), National Insurance Commission (NIC), and Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA). The participants were introduced to the operations of the Traffitech-GH system and briefed on the new Road Traffic Regulations, 2026 (L.I. 2519), and the Road Traffic (Amendment) Act, 2025 (Act 1153).
Key areas covered during the training included automated road traffic offences and fines under Regulation 242, the implementation of the Traffitech-GH system, and the process for contesting automated traffic offences. The selected regional back-office team also received practical training in the use of the in-vehicle fixed camera and the handheld or tripod Lasercam4 speed camera.
As part of the preparations, the Volta Regional back office at the Regional MTTD Office in Ho has been equipped with the updated Traffitech-GH software to support the implementation of the system. This will enable the region to effectively manage and process traffic offences captured by the Traffitech-GH system.
The Traffitech-GH system is expected to commence operations nationwide on October 1, 2026, under Regulation 242. The system aims to enhance road safety and reduce traffic offences in Ghana. The Ghana Police Service has been working to implement the system in collaboration with its private-sector partner.
The training programme was organised to ensure that personnel are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively implement the Traffitech-GH system. The programme also provided an opportunity for stakeholders to interact and discuss issues related to the implementation of the system.
The successful rollout of the Traffitech-GH system is expected to improve road safety in Ghana and reduce the number of traffic offences. The Ghana Police Service has assured the public of its commitment to ensuring that the system is implemented effectively and efficiently.
