Warning signs on speed limits and where speed cameras are located on roads will be erected this week, beginning November 9 in areas where such signs are non-existent, but Traffitech-GH cameras have been deployed.
The Director of Education, Research and Training at the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD), ACP Alexander Kwaku Obeng who made this known said the move follows feedback from the public in relation to the deployment of Traffitech-GH.
He indicated that in collaboration with their key stakeholders [Urban Roads and Highways], the signs will also be erected in areas where police officers are using in-vehicle cameras to enforce traffic regulations under the TraffiTech-GH system.
ACP Obeng said the signs would help inform motorists of areas where the Police were conducting camera-assisted traffic enforcement.
He was speaking on JoyNews' Newsfile programme on Saturday, November 7, 2026.
He said the signs are being erected to help address concerns about the visibility of enforcement operations.
“Very soon in the course of this week, you will see notices of camera and speed signs indicating where we are patrolling with our in-vehicle cameras,” he said.
There has been widespread public concerns about inadequate road signs and uncertainty over the locations where the Police are deploying cameras to detect traffic offences.

ACP Obeng said the Police had taken public concerns into account and would address areas requiring calibration.
“Those that require that we calibrate it will be done,” he said.
He maintained that the Police were enforcing speed limits on roads where speeding had become a concern and the relevant speed limit signs were in place.
He mentioned the stretch between School Junction and Borteyman, Boundary Road, and the route from Mahama Roundabout towards Giffard Road (the Airport bypass behind Burma Camp) as areas where motorists were exceeding the prescribed speed limits.
According to ACP Obeng, motorists on the School Junction-Borteyman stretch and Boundary Road were recording average speeds of about 120 kilometres per hour, although the speed limit on those roads was 50 kilometres per hour.
On the route towards Mahama Roundabout at the Airport bypass, he said some drivers were travelling at an average speed of 110 kilometres per hour, against the same 50-kilometre-per-hour limit.
ACP Obeng said the Police were encouraged by early indications of changes in driving behaviour and a reduction in road crashes since the introduction of caution notices and the enforcement system.
He added that preliminary data available to the Police showed a sudden reduction in road crashes across the country.
The TraffiTech-GH system uses fixed and mobile cameras, including equipment mounted in police vehicles, to capture traffic offences. The first phase of enforcement, which began on November 1, 2026, targets speeding.
Under the system, electronic notices of violation are sent to the registered owners of vehicles captured by the cameras. Vehicle owners are given the opportunity to review the evidence and either pay the applicable fine or contest the notice within the stipulated period.
