The Ghana Police Service has trained selected personnel and public sector partners in the Volta Region on the operations of the Traffitech-GH system ahead of its operationalisation on October 1, 2026.
The training was aimed at equipping enforcement teams with the requisite knowledge and practical skills to effectively implement automated road traffic enforcement under the new system, including the processing of traffic offences and fines.
The fifth and final session of the nationwide training programme was held on Thursday, at Ho in the Volta Regional.
Organised by the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service in collaboration with its private sector partner, the programme brought together 45 participants from the MTTD and key public sector institutions.
They included representatives of the Judicial Service, National Road Safety Authority (NRSA), National Insurance Commission (NIC) and Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA).
The participants were taken through the new Road Traffic Regulations, 2026 (L.I. 2519), and the Road Traffic (Amendment) Act, 2025 (Act 1153), as part of efforts to ensure a common understanding of the legal framework governing the new enforcement regime.
Key areas covered included automated road traffic offences and fines under Regulation 242, an overview of the Traffitech-GH system and its implementation, as well as the contest flow for motorists who may challenge automated traffic violations.
The selected back office team from the region also received practical training in the use of the in-vehicle fixed camera and the handheld or tripod Lasercam4 speed camera.
As part of preparations for the October 1 operationalisation, the Volta Regional back office has been set up with the updated Traffitech-GH software at the Regional MTTD Office in Ho.
The training formed part of broader preparations by the Police and its partners to ensure that personnel and relevant institutions were adequately prepared for the implementation of Regulation 242 and the automated enforcement of road traffic offences
