The Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) says it is ready to roll out the TraffiTech-GH digital traffic enforcement system on Sunday, November 1, 2026, with cameras to detect speeding and issue electronic violation notices.
The Director of Education, Research and Training, ACP Alexander Kwaku Obeng, said all preparations have been completed for the system, which will initially focus on speeding offences at locations linked to road crashes.
Speaking on News Digest on Saturday, October 31, 2026, which was monitored by Ghanaian Radar, ACP Obeng said the new system will allow police to gather evidence digitally without stopping drivers, impounding vehicles or taking them to police stations and motor courts.
“[Today], 1st November, we are set, everything is ready, and we are taking off,” he said.
Under TraffiTech-GH, cameras mounted in police vehicles and on tripods will capture speeding violations. The MTTD will process the evidence and send electronic notices via text message to registered vehicle owners.
The messages, with sender ID GPS MTTD, will include a link for owners to view video evidence of the alleged violation, including date, time and location.
ACP Obeng said vehicle owners will have 14 days to either pay the prescribed fine or contest the offence in court.
He said the digital system will operate alongside existing manual enforcement, though the department intends to scale down roadside arrests using handheld radar guns for speeding.
The system will initially target drivers exceeding 50 kilometres per hour in towns, 90 kilometres per hour on highways and 100 kilometres per hour on motorways.
He stressed that TraffiTech-GH is specifically designed to address speeding and will not replace manual enforcement of other traffic offences.
ACP Obeng added that the department has engaged transport stakeholders and conducted public education ahead of the rollout, noting that many operators preferred the digital process as it spares drivers the inconvenience of arrest and court processes.
The announcement comes as commercial transport operators have threatened to suspend services nationwide from November 1 in protest against the planned rollout.
