The Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) has confirmed that the TraffiTech-GH digital traffic enforcement system will be rolled out on Sunday, November 1, 2026, with cameras deployed to detect speeding offences and issue electronic violation notices.

The department’s Director of Education, Research and Training, ACP Alexander Kwaku Obeng, said preparations for the launch had been completed, adding that the initial phase would focus on speeding at locations associated with road crashes.

Speaking on Accra-based Citi FM on Saturday, October 31, 2026, he said the system would enable the police to collect digital evidence without stopping motorists, impounding their vehicles or taking them to police stations and motor courts.

“Tomorrow, 1st November, we are set, everything is ready, and we are taking off,” he said.

The system will use cameras mounted on police vehicles and tripods to capture speeding violations. The MTTD will process the footage and send electronic notices to the registered owners of the vehicles through text messages.

The messages will identify the sender as GPS MTTD and provide a link to video evidence showing the alleged violation, including its date, time and location.

ACP Obeng said vehicle owners would have 14 days to pay the prescribed fine or contest the offence in court.

He added that TraffiTech-GH would complement existing manual enforcement methods, although the department intended to reduce roadside arrests for speeding offences detected with handheld radar guns.

The initial speed limits under the digital enforcement system will be 50 kilometres per hour in towns, 90 kilometres per hour on highways and 100 kilometres per hour on motorways.

ACP Obeng stressed that the system would focus exclusively on speeding offences and would not replace manual enforcement of other traffic violations.

He further disclosed that the department had engaged transport stakeholders and undertaken public education ahead of the rollout. He said many operators favoured the digital process because it would reduce the inconvenience associated with arresting drivers and taking them to police stations and courts.

The announcement comes as commercial transport operators threaten to suspend services nationwide from November 1 in protest against the planned introduction of the system.
