  • The Ghana Police Service has pushed back the full launch of its automated traffic enforcement system, TRAFFITECH-GH, by one month
  • The postponement is tied to a planned public education campaign covering how the system works and how violation notices will be issued
  • Motorists, drivers and vehicle owners have been urged to use the extra time to familiarise themselves with TRAFFITECH-GH

The Ghana Police Service has announced a one-month delay to the full implementation of TRAFFITECH-GH, its automated traffic law enforcement programme, shifting the launch date from 1 October to 1 November 2026.

In a statement dated 29 September 2026, the Service said the decision to extend the timeline was driven by the need to conduct broader public education on the programme before it becomes fully operational.

The awareness campaign will explain how TRAFFITECH-GH functions, detail the categories of traffic offences the system is designed to detect, and outline the process through which Electronic Notices of Violation (ENV) will be issued to motorists who break the law.
