Road crashes across Ghana decreased by 9.48% in September 2026, with fatalities dropping by 7.82%, according to the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD). The MTTD’s Director of Education, Research and Training, ACP Alexander Kwaku Obeng, attributed these improvements to increased enforcement against speeding and public education initiatives by the Ghana Police Service. Police data also indicated a 12.19% reduction in the number of vehicles involved in crashes, a 7.14% decrease in motorcycle crashes, and a 15% fall in injuries. ACP Obeng stated that the Police intensified the issuance of electronic violation notices and caution notices from September 10, in preparation for the nationwide introduction of an automated enforcement system on November 1, 2026. Speeding was identified as the initial priority, with sensors used to detect violations. Drivers and vehicle owners receive electronic notices with video evidence of infractions, which has encouraged owners to promote responsible driving and motorists to be more cautious, according to ACP Obeng.
