We may add red-light systems next year – ACP Obeng on TraffiTech expansion

Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Alexander Kwaku Obeng has disclosed that the Ghana Police Service plans to introduce automated red-light enforcement cameras at hazardous road junctions next year.

The Director of Education, Research and Training at the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) said the police had already procured the capacity to incorporate red-light detection into the existing digital traffic enforcement system.

ACP Obeng said the planned expansion would cover hazardous junctions identified through road safety data, particularly in some locations in Accra while speaking on TV3’s Hot Issues with Keminni Amanor.

“In addition, next year, we may also add red light systems to these cameras we have deployed,” he said.

He explained that the police were working with a road engineer to determine how the additional technology would be integrated into the existing road infrastructure.

“At hazardous junctions that are noted, we have noted with our data across the country. And in particular, in certain locations in Accra. Next year, we have even now, we have procured the capacity, except that we are working with a road engineer as to how are we going to enter into this road space and all that,” he stated.

ACP Obeng also revealed that the police had completed designing software to run on personal digital assistants (PDAs), which would enable officers to detect and gather evidence on other traffic offences beyond speeding.

He said the software was currently being tested and would be scaled up after the initial rollout of TraffiTech-GH had been completed.

“That one will also help us to detect other offences, including motor-related and other traffic offences, other than speeding. And that one, we will scale it up after we have consummated the rollout and with all these nuances that are coming in the course of next year,” he said.

ACP Obeng stressed that the expansion would be gradual and involve engagements with stakeholders before additional enforcement mechanisms were introduced.

“We will not do it without engaging our stakeholders, informing them for them to know so that it will not be as if we are stampeding them,” he added.
