Julius Neequaye Kotey, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) CEO, has said drivers who receive six TraffiTech violation tickets within two years will have their driving licences revoked.
According to the DVLA boss, the drivers whose licences are revoked will be required to return to driving school before being issued new licences.
Speaking in a video shared by GHOne TV, the DVLA boss stated, “When TraffiTech comes on board, and you are issued with a ticket six times within two years, we will forfeit your licence, and you will have to come to DVLA for us to retrain you and re-issue your licence”.
Meanwhile, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Alexander Kwaku Obeng, the Director of Education, Research and Training at the Police Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD), has disclosed that the introduction of the TraffiTech-GH initiative and the issuance of caution notices to drivers have contributed to improved road-use behaviour.
According to him, the Police have observed positive changes in driver conduct, supported by data gathered since the technology-driven traffic enforcement.
Speaking on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show, ACP Alexander Kwaku Obeng stated, “With this strategy of embedding some of these cameras in vehicles running our roads all over and having some that are tripod-mounted that are also able to move from one end to the other, we have seen a very positive impact on the behaviour of motorists in the first place”.
“Within twenty days of September this year, when we enhanced sensitisation, gathering evidence and confronting vehicle owners with it, with an embedded message with GPS, MTTD sender ID sending messages saying speed kills, reduce it now with your vehicle number, time and place of the offence; if you compare the data of crashes from September last year (2025) with the same period this year, we have seen a significant change in behaviour of drivers,” he disclosed.
“Crises reported to the Ghana Police Service across our twenty-five police regions in Ghana in the last year amounted to 1,108. Now we have recorded 1,003, a reduction of 9.4%.”
“Vehicles that were involved in these crashes last year were 1,928, and we have seen a significant reduction of 12.19%; that is, 1,693. In terms of morbidity, we have seen last year’s record of 1,405 persons, both male and female, getting injured; we have seen a significant reduction of 15.02% to 1,194,” he added.
The Traffitech-GH is an automated system developed by the Ghana Police Service to enforce road traffic laws and regulations and improve road safety.
It seeks to increase compliance with road traffic laws and regulations to reduce road traffic crashes, deaths and injuries.
In addition, the Police website has disclosed how the Traffitech-GH Work saying, “An ENV is an SMS issued by the GPS-MTTD. Before taking any action, offenders are advised to check the Sender ID, which should read GPS-MTTD.
The ENV will have a Ticket Number and will indicate the location, date, and time of the traffic offence, as well as the vehicle registration number, offence description, payment amount, and payment deadline. Other traffic offences that will be enforced under Traffitech-GH include expired roadworthiness certificates, wrongful overtaking, non-use of seatbelts, use of an expired licence, driving an uninsured vehicle and the misuse of sirens.
Traffitech-GH will deploy fixed, mobile/in-vehicle and laser speed-measurement devices to capture offences including speeding and running the red light. Pictures and/or videos of the offences are automatically transmitted to the back office for validation and issuance of a notification by SMS to the vehicle owner for payment. Camera-detected ENVs are issued to the registered vehicle owner.
A driver receives a notice directly only following a roadside stop by an MTTD officer using a handheld Personal Digital Assistant(PDA). Once an offence is recorded by one of the Traffitech-GH devices, the GPS will review the offence and issue an Electronic Notice of Violation (ENV) by SMS to the vehicle owner or the person driving the vehicle at the time of the offence”.
