Ghanaian authorities will begin installing signs showing speed limits and the location of speed cameras from the week beginning 9 November, the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) has said.
The signs will be placed in areas where TraffiTech-GH cameras are already operating but no warning notices currently exist.
ACP Alexander Kwaku Obeng, Director of Education, Research and Training at the MTTD, said the decision followed public feedback about the camera-based enforcement system.
Working with key stakeholders, including Urban Roads and Highways, the Police will also install notices in locations where officers are using cameras fitted to patrol vehicles to enforce traffic regulations under TraffiTech-GH.
“The notices of camera and speed signs indicating where we are patrolling with our in-vehicle cameras will be seen very soon in the course of this week,” ACP Obeng said.
He was speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile programme on Saturday, 7 November 2026. He said the signs were intended to address concerns about the visibility of enforcement operations and inform drivers where camera-assisted policing was taking place.
There has been widespread concern among the public about a lack of road signs and uncertainty over the locations being monitored by the Police for traffic offences.
ACP Obeng said those concerns had been considered and that any areas requiring calibration would be reviewed.
“Those that require that we calibrate it will be done,” he said.
He maintained that the Police were enforcing speed restrictions only on roads where speeding had become a problem and where the relevant speed-limit signs were already in place.
Among the areas identified were the road between School Junction and Borteyman, Boundary Road, and the route from Mahama Roundabout towards Giffard Road, also known as the Airport bypass behind Burma Camp.
According to ACP Obeng, drivers on the School Junction-Borteyman stretch and Boundary Road were travelling at average speeds of about 120 kilometres per hour, despite a posted limit of 50 kilometres per hour.
On the Airport bypass towards Mahama Roundabout, some motorists were recording average speeds of 110 kilometres per hour against the same 50-kilometre-per-hour limit.
He said the Police had been encouraged by early signs of improved driving behaviour and fewer road crashes since caution notices and the enforcement system were introduced.
Preliminary data available to the Police, he added, showed a sudden reduction in road crashes across the country.
TraffiTech-GH uses fixed and mobile cameras, including devices mounted inside police vehicles, to record traffic offences. Its first phase began on 1 November 2026 and is focused on speeding.
Electronic violation notices are sent to the registered owners of vehicles captured by the cameras. Owners can review the evidence and either pay the applicable fine or challenge the notice within the stipulated period.
