Ghana's automated traffic enforcement system, TraffiTech-GH, went live nationwide on 1 November 2026. Police in Accra say the system is currently limited to speeding offences, with other offences still enforced manually.
The system is run under a public-private partnership signed in December 2022 with Nationwide Traffic Management and Enforcement Ltd (NTMEL), for 11 years to December 2033. NTMEL is 60% owned by Ghanaian entrepreneur Frank Osei and 40% by Swedish-listed Sensys Gatso International. The project's estimated investment is GH¢77.73m.
Government documents on the PPP anticipate a revenue split of 60% to government and 40% to NTMEL. Sensys Gatso has told its investors to expect about US$60m in joint-venture revenue over the remaining contract period. The contract was signed three years before Parliament passed the December 2025 amendment that made automated fines lawful.
Under the regulations, fines start at GH¢120 for each of the first three offences. Police say speeding attracts GH¢240 for every 5 km/h above the limit.
After 14 days, 1% of the fine is added for each day of late payment. The registered owner is liable regardless of who was driving, and the DVLA will not process licence renewal, registration, transfer or roadworthiness services while fines are unpaid.
Speed limits are often not signposted. The police guidance says a licensed driver must know the limits whether or not a sign is posted. Owners can appeal online within 14 days, but there is no deadline for the police to resolve an appeal.
Five transport unions threatened to strike, saying in a statement they cannot operate in bus stops occupied by traders and still be fined by cameras. Police have also warned of fake fine notices, and seven people were arrested in February over alleged scam messages with payment links.
Road crashes killed 2,949 people in Ghana in 2025, the highest in 35 years. A Department of Urban Roads assessment found only 257 of 411 traffic signal installations working, and the Roads Minister told Parliament the government owes signal maintenance firms about GH¢40m.
