Kumasi: Some drivers share their views on the implementation of MTTD’s Traffic-Tech GH
Some commercial drivers in Kumasi have expressed mixed opinions on the newly implemented road regulations by the MMTTD
Their comments come after the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) rolled out the TraffiTech-GH digital traffic enforcement system on Sunday, November 1, 2026, with cameras to be deployed to detect speeding and issue electronic violation notices to vehicle owners.
The department’s Director of Education, Research and Training, ACP Alexander Kwaku Obeng, said all preparations had been completed for the commencement of the system, which will initially focus on speeding offences at locations associated with road crashes.
Under the system, cameras mounted in police vehicles and on tripods will capture speeding violations. The MTTD will then process the evidence and send electronic notices through text messages to the owners of the vehicles registered with the department.
Some drivers speaking in an interview with OTEC News Papilo on the first day after the rollout by MMTTD welcome the automated system, stressing it will help reduce direct interaction with the police.
They noted that receiving an SMS ticket and paying the fine via Mobile Money will help driverd avoid police chases, roadside delays, and bribes.
Some drivers also support the effort, pointing out that speeding is a major factor in many gory accidents, stressing that the new rule will be instrumental to reduce extreme indiscipline and overspeeding
