The Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) says it will begin erecting road signs to indicate the locations of speed cameras and police patrols from this week.

The Director of Education, Research and Training at the MTTD, ACP Alexander Kwaku Obeng, said the move follows public concerns about the deployment of the TraffiTech-GH system.

He said the Department, in collaboration with key stakeholders, including the Urban Roads and Highways authorities, would install the signs at locations where police officers use in-vehicle cameras to monitor and enforce traffic regulations.

Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile programme on Saturday, November 7, 2026, ACP Obeng said the move was in response to public feedback 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.

The announcement follows concerns about inadequate road signage and uncertainty over locations where police cameras are being deployed to detect traffic offences.

ACP Obeng said the Police had taken the concerns into account and would review speed limits in 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, particularly in areas where the prescribed speed limits were clearly indicated.

ACP Obeng also said the Police had observed early signs of improved 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 indicated a sharp decline in road crashes across the country.

The TraffiTech-GH system uses fixed and mobile cameras, including those mounted in police vehicles, to capture traffic offences.
