Police to fully implement TRAFFITECH-GH automated traffic enforcement from October 1

The Ghana Police Service has announced that it will commence the full implementation of its automated traffic law enforcement programme, TRAFFITECH-GH, from October 1, 2026.

The programme, being implemented through the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD), is part of efforts by the Police Service to address indiscipline on Ghana’s roads and improve compliance with road traffic laws and regulations.

According to a press release issued by the Public Affairs Directorate of the Ghana Police Service on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, TRAFFITECH-GH will rely on technology to detect traffic offences and support the enforcement of road traffic regulations.

Under the programme, cameras and Personal Data Assistant (PDA) devices will be used to detect traffic offences committed by motorists.

The Police Service said offences detected through the system will subsequently be reviewed before enforcement action is taken.

Once an offence has been confirmed, an Electronic Notice of Violation (ENV) will be issued to the affected vehicle owner or driver through SMS.

The electronic notice will contain details of the traffic offence committed as well as the prescribed fine applicable to the violation.

The Police have also published further operational information indicating that the broader system can use digital traffic-monitoring equipment to detect violations, with captured information subjected to validation before notices are issued.

The Ghana Police Service has urged all motorists, drivers and vehicle owners to comply with road traffic regulations ahead of the full rollout.

It is also calling on road users to support the implementation of TRAFFITECH-GH as part of efforts to promote safer roads.

According to the Service, the programme is intended to help reduce road traffic crashes and casualties while improving adherence to traffic laws.

The September 15 press release was signed by Deputy Superintendent of Police Richmond Mensah, Staff Officer at the Public Affairs Directorate.

The Police Service has directed members of the public seeking more information on TRAFFITECH-GH to access the information provided through its official programme link. The Ghana Police Service also has information on TRAFFITECH-GH on its official website.

TRAFFITECH-GH will therefore move into full implementation on October 1, 2026, marking a shift toward greater use of automated technology in the enforcement of traffic regulations in Ghana.
