The National Public Relations Officer of the Concerned Drivers Association, Mr David Agboado, says the introduction of the Ghana Police Service’s automated traffic enforcement system, TraffiTech-GH, has made commercial drivers more cautious on the roads.
According to him, drivers who were previously perceived as indisciplined or resistant to traffic regulations are now paying greater attention to road safety rules since the system became operational on November 1, 2026.
Speaking on Accra FM’s morning show on Thursday, Mr Agboado disclosed that 47 commercial drivers had so far been captured by the automated enforcement system for traffic violations.
He added that reports available to him indicated that more than 3,000 private motorists had also been recorded by the system.
Mr Agboado said commercial drivers had often been blamed for indiscipline on Ghana’s roads over the years, but the introduction of TraffiTech-GH was helping to provide a clearer picture of the extent of traffic violations among different categories of motorists in the country.
He noted that the automated system was identifying offenders beyond the commercial transport sector and reinforcing the need for all road users to comply with traffic regulations.
He described the development as an indication that road discipline should be treated as a shared responsibility rather than an issue associated with commercial drivers alone.
Mr Agboado commended the leadership of the Ghana Police Service for adopting technology to strengthen traffic law enforcement and promote discipline on the roads.
He said the use of automated monitoring could help improve compliance with road traffic regulations and encourage responsible driving among motorists.
TraffiTech-GH, implemented by the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service, officially took effect on November 1, 2026, initially focusing on detecting speeding and issuing electronic notices of violation.
The system forms part of efforts to use technology to improve road safety and strengthen enforcement of traffic laws across the country.
