The system became operational on Sunday, November 1, 2026, after an earlier October 1 launch date was postponed to allow for additional public education and sensitisation.

The initial phase focuses on speeding offences, with cameras mounted on police vehicles and deployed at selected locations to capture motorists exceeding prescribed speed limits.

On the first day of implementation, police recorded some drivers travelling above 130 kilometres per hour in areas where the speed limit was 50 kilometres per hour. The affected vehicle owners have reportedly received electronic notices containing details and evidence of the alleged offences.

Under the system, motorists who receive violation notices have 14 days to pay the prescribed fines or challenge the offences through the appropriate legal process.

The police say TRAFFITECH-GH is intended to improve road discipline, reduce speeding-related accidents and strengthen enforcement through technology. The system will initially prioritise speeding, with other traffic violations expected to be incorporated as implementation progresses.

Motorists are therefore being urged to observe speed limits and comply with road traffic regulations as digital enforcement begins across the country.
