The Ministry of the Interior has introduced TraffiTech-GH, a technology-driven traffic enforcement system designed to detect, track and penalise motorists who violate road traffic regulations.
Interior Minister Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak announced the initiative during the Government Accountability Series on Monday, August 24, saying the system uses fixed and mobile cameras, radar systems and other digital devices to capture traffic offences.
According to the Minister, violations detected by the system are transmitted to a 24-hour control room for verification before electronic notices are sent to offenders. The notices will contain details of the offence, applicable fines, visual evidence and payment instructions.
Fines are expected to be paid electronically within 14 days through the Ghana.gov platform. Motorists who fail to pay could be traced by security agencies and arrested.
The system, developed by the Ghana Police Service, is expected to cover more than 47 traffic offences and reduce direct roadside interactions between motorists and police officers.
The Interior Ministry says TraffiTech-GH will strengthen enforcement, deter irresponsible driving and help reduce road crashes and fatalities across the country.
