Starting October 1, 2026, the Ghana Police Service will officially launch its automated traffic law enforcement system, known as TRAFFITECH-GH

To address persistent road indiscipline and elevate compliance with traffic regulations, the Ghana Police Service is deploying TRAFFITECH-GH through its Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD).

The automated system relies on a combination of state-of-the-art surveillance cameras and handheld Personal Data Assistant (PDA) devices to capture traffic violations seamlessly across designated roadways.

Once an offence is recorded by the system, it undergoes a verification review process by traffic officials.

Following this review, an Electronic Notice of Violation (ENV) is automatically generated and dispatched directly to the registered vehicle owner or driver via SMS.

Each text notification explicitly outlines the specific infraction committed along with the exact prescribed fine to be settled.

According to an official press statement issued on September 15, 2026, signed by Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Richmond Mensah, Staff Officer at the Public Affairs Directorate, the primary objective of this automated drive is to promote safer roads and reduce road traffic crashes and casualties.

The police administration has strongly appealed to all drivers, transport operators, and car owners to support the rollout and adhere strictly to traffic codes.

For members of the public seeking further clarification or details on fine payment structures and system operations, the police service has provided a dedicated online link for public guidance.

The rollout of TRAFFITECH-GH marks a pivotal move toward modernizing road safety management in Ghana.

By automating violation detection streamlining fine delivery via SMS, the Ghana Police Service aims to create safer transit corridors and foster a culture of driver responsibility.
