TRAFFITECH-GH Full Rollout Moved to November 1

The Ghana Police Service has rescheduled the full implementation of its automated traffic law enforcement programme, TRAFFITECH-GH, from October 1 to November 1, 2026.

The Police Service, through the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD), announced the change in a press release dated September 29, 2026, signed on behalf of the Director-General of Public Affairs by Deputy Superintendent of Police Richmond Mensah, Staff Officer at the Public Affairs Directorate.

According to the Police, the decision to postpone the full rollout is intended to allow for more extensive public awareness and education on the TRAFFITECH-GH programme before its implementation.

The additional period will be used to educate motorists and other road users on how the system operates, the types of traffic offences it is designed to detect, and the Electronic Notices of Violation (ENV) that will be issued to motorists who are found to have committed offences.

TRAFFITECH-GH forms part of the Ghana Police Service’s broader efforts to address indiscipline on the country’s roads and improve compliance with road traffic laws and regulations.

The automated enforcement system is expected to support the Police in detecting traffic violations and enforcing road safety regulations through technology.

The Police Service has therefore urged motorists, drivers and vehicle owners to use the additional period before the November 1 rollout to familiarise themselves with the programme and understand its operations.

The Service said the extension would provide road users with more time to understand the offences that could be detected under the system and the procedures surrounding the issuance of Electronic Notices of Violation.

The Ghana Police Service also expressed appreciation to the media for what it described as its unflinching support throughout the introduction of the TRAFFITECH-GH project.

It reaffirmed its commitment to working with the media and other stakeholders to ensure the successful implementation of the programme as part of efforts to improve road safety in Ghana.

The Police Service said the full implementation of TRAFFITECH-GH will now commence on November 1, 2026, rather than the previously announced October 1 date.
