The Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service is set to begin installing speed camera warning signs and speed limit indicators at selected intersections under its TraffiTech-GH enforcement system.
The move follows a directive by President John Dramani Mahama during an interview with The1957News about a week ago, asking the MTTD to install appropriate signage at all intersections equipped with TraffiTech cameras.
According to the President, it is only fair for people to be warned of their actions
The planned signs will alert motorists that they are under “24-HRS Speed Camera Monitoring” or “24-HRS Video Monitoring” as part of efforts to improve road safety and strengthen traffic law enforcement.
The signs will also indicate speed limits of 80km/h and 50km/h, depending on the designated road sections.
The installation is expected to improve public awareness of camera-monitored locations and encourage motorists to comply with speed limits.
The TraffiTech-GH system forms part of efforts to leverage technology in monitoring road traffic, detecting violations and promoting safer driving practices across the country.
