The Ghana Police Service has completed its nationwide training programme for personnel and key public-sector partners ahead of the October 1, 2026 operationalisation of Traffitech-GH, a new system for automated road traffic enforcement.
The latest and final training session was organised by the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD), in collaboration with its private-sector partner, on Thursday, September 24, at the Stevens Hotel Conference Room in Ho, Volta Region.
The programme brought together 45 participants, including MTTD personnel from Ho and representatives from the Judicial Service, National Road Safety Authority (NRSA), National Insurance Commission (NIC) and Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA).
The participants were trained on the operation of Traffitech-GH and briefed on the Road Traffic Regulations, 2026 (L.I. 2519) and the Road Traffic (Amendment) Act, 2025 (Act 1153), as part of preparations to enforce the new regime.
Key areas covered included automated road traffic offences and fines under Regulation 242, the implementation of the Traffitech-GH system and the process for contesting traffic offences.
Selected members of the regional back-office team also received practical training in the use of the in-vehicle fixed camera and the handheld or tripod Lasercam4 speed camera, which will support enforcement activities.
The training was the fifth and final session in a nationwide series aimed at preparing enforcement teams and relevant institutions for the rollout.
The Volta Region has also completed a key part of its preparations, with the regional back office at the MTTD office in Ho set up with the updated Traffitech-GH software.
The Police say the training and system installation form part of the final preparations for the commencement of Traffitech-GH on October 1, 2026, in accordance with Regulation 242.
