Community 2 Police Commander, Chief Superintendent Ebenezer Tetteh, has disclosed that the Traffic Tech System will begin tracking road traffic offences from November 1, 2026, as part of efforts to improve road safety and compliance among motorists.
Speaking on Nyansapɔ Fie on Plan B FM, hosted by Akosua Gyamfua, Chief Supt. Tetteh said the system would use technology to identify motorists who violate traffic regulations and issue them electronic tickets.
He explained that motorists who receive e-tickets would have 14 days to pay the applicable penalty.
However, motorists who believe they have been wrongly cited will have the opportunity to challenge the offence through an established appeal process.
Chief Supt. Tetteh said the system would monitor a range of traffic violations, including overspeeding on highways and around schools, wrongful overtaking, failure to wear seat belts, using mobile phones while driving, driving with expired licences or insurance, improper parking and running red lights.
He warned motorists that repeated traffic offences could attract more serious consequences.
According to him, motorists who accumulate a fourth, fifth or sixth offence could face the revocation of their driving licences.
Chief Supt. Tetteh also cautioned motorists against treating the offence of running a red light lightly, stressing that such violations can put the lives of other road users at risk.
He further highlighted the importance of the three Es of traffic enforcement — Education, Enforcement and Engineering — describing them as essential components in promoting road safety and improving compliance with traffic regulations.
He urged motorists to familiarise themselves with road traffic regulations and exercise greater caution as the Traffic Tech System comes into full implementation.
