Komenda College of Education Sensitizes Staff and Drivers on Police TraffiTech-GH System
KOMENDA, C/R - Komenda College of Education, Komenda on Monday, 12th October, 2026, held a sensitization workshop on the Ghana Police Service's new automated traffic enforcement programme, TRAFFITECH-GH, for its drivers and all interested staff.
The workshop, held at the College Conference Hall, was facilitated by personnel from the District Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service.
Background to TRAFFITECH-GH
TRAFFITECH-GH is an automated traffic law enforcement programme developed by the Ghana Police Service through the MTTD to enforce road traffic laws and improve road safety in Ghana.
According to the Police, it took about 10 years to develop the system because it required new legislation, technology and nationwide stakeholder engagement.
The system is now backed by law under the Road Traffic (Amendment) Act, 2025 (Act 1153) and the Road Traffic Regulations, 2026 (L.I. 2519). It uses fixed cameras at intersections, mobile and in-vehicle cameras, handheld PDA devices, tripods and speed sensors to automatically capture offences.
Captured images are sent to a 24-hour control room for review. Once an offence is confirmed, an Electronic Notice of Violation (ENV) is sent via SMS to the registered vehicle owner, detailing the offence, fine, location and visual evidence. Offenders have 14 days to pay via http://Ghana.gov platform, Mobile Money or *222# or contest it.
The system is designed to detect over 47 offences including speeding, jumping red lights, use of mobile phone while driving, failure to wear seatbelt, and drink-driving. Police began full implementation from 1st October/November 2026 after a pilot phase that saw 120,000 caution notices issued between 2024 and 2025.
Importantly, the Police say TRAFFITECH-GH will not replace MTTD officers on the roads, but will complement manual enforcement and reduce direct human contact in handling fines.
The College Workshop
At the Komenda College workshop, facilitators took participants through how the system works, its offences and penalties, and how to check and pay fines.
The Ag. Registrar thanked the District MTTD for the educative session and urged all College drivers and staff vehicle owners to comply with road traffic laws and embrace the new system.
Participants described the training as timely and insightful, noting that it will help them avoid falling foul of the law.
The College Management reaffirmed its commitment to staff welfare and safety through continuous education on national policies
