Such bogos and noisy argument. I only support visible speed limits but to erect sign post and tell you there's a camera for you to now come to ones senses to not overspeed or do the wrong thing is the highest form of indiscipline a society can aspire to. What is more glaring than the whole country knowing ahead of time that now the speed limits on our roads are electronically monitored. They should call for the whole LI to be printed on the bill boards rather.

That is how it works in every advanced country. There is always a sign post of the speed cameras and the speed limit for that section.

What do you mean by Advance country?? It's rather the other way around. One need to adhere to traffic rules always, why do you want to speed up and slow down because there's a surveillance??

Which advanced country are you talking about?

This is how it works: a limit, 30 (in km/h) say, will be white-marked on the ground. This limit will be valid until another limit has replaced.

Now, on the whole section within the validity of the limit, the camera(s) MAY be mounted (either fixed or placed on vehicle or on special trailer) ANYWHERE, WITHOUT INDICATING that a camera is in place. To save electric power (yes, the city/town pays for it !), they use the cameras only at busy sections, residential areas, near kindergartens, schools etc ...

Note that I have lived (and still live!!) more than 60% of my entire life overseas and know exactly what I'm talking about. I have personally been captured at leas 5 times.

@PAA, WERE YOU AWARE THAT BAIL FOR OFFENDERS, PEOPLE YOU TO PAY CASH BEFORE THEY ARE RELEAESE UNTILL SOME LAWYERS MADE IT KNOWN THAT YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO PAY PHYSICAL CASH TO BAIL SOMEONE?, THOSE MONIES THAT THE POLICE TOOK CAN SOMEONE GO BACK TODAY TO DEMAND FOR REFUND?, SO THROUGH EDUCATION, THAT HAS STOPPED AND YOU CAN BAIL A LOVE ONE WITHOUT BORROWING MONEY TO PAY. SO THE SIGN POST AND CAMERA BEING VISIBLE IS ALSO A SIGN OF EDUCATION.

Paa, as much as i suppoort the system, it is trite knowledge that such signs should be visible.Our speed limit are aslo questionable, dont u agree? Excessive speed is abhorent but to issue ticket to unsuspecting public for normal speeds in unsuspecting enclaves leaves much to be desired. We need to urgently review the speed limit with visible signs. 100 km/hr is 62mile/hr on express ways. This is very unrealistic. I support the system but lets review the limits to reflect best practice and ensure rational compliance

Clearly you don't get it. We seem to apply the latest tech without the appropriate infrastructure. Speed cameras, etc are a deterrent, not a money-making venture to trap people to enrich the coffers. A traffic camera system is truly about safety if it includes prominent warning signs, clear speed limit markings, and channels its fine revenues directly back into fixing roads and improving safety infrastructure. It leans toward being a money-making scheme if it relies on hidden cameras or traps drivers on poorly marked highway zones simply to extract fines

I support this call 100% for the sign post to notify motorists about the cameras. Also road signs should be made visible as well to show the speed limits for every section of the road.

Let be fair,; good road, speed limits post, corruption and obeying a KNOWN speed limit as a has nothing to do with the position of a monitoring device.
Who even needs a camera to do the right thing.

Common sense is far less common than people think.

What is the purpose of the entire TraffiTech-GH system if motorists only obey road safety rules when they know a camera is watching?

The efficacy of the TraffiTech-GH initiative is severely undermined if motorists strictly adhere to traffic regulations only within the immediate vicinity of known enforcement cameras.

It is the best practice everywhere in road safety issues to make any signs and markings available to motorist/drivers and not to hide and make it punitive. That is not road safety requirements. I understand the MTTD implementers are interested in the monetary components of 60-40 split not the actual road safety issues like E-levy only interested in the tax component not the promotion of digitalization.

@jacksparrow I 100% agree..hiding the camera is like u have ill intention..some drivers are naturally foolish and even if its in the open, will still overspeed..but if there is speed sign there, then I think its enough..one thing I have realized is that there is not enough speed limit signs on the road..we need better roads whiles they implement this..because u can’t be giving people tickets on rubbish terrible road networks but if the roads are good, then we good to go..the govt of Ghana needs to focus more on this as it can generate a lot of revenues for the state..the next thing that should be installed is the electronic road tolls..imagine if every car pays 10 cedis per day as tolls,do
The calculation, is that not even more than cocoa..Africans needs to use their brains

The rule is very simple: a street would be marked say 30 (i.e 30km/h)
And unless otherwise stated/changed, that limit holds for the entire route. At least one camera could be placed (HIDDEN) anywhere on that route, without any indication.

They NEVER place any sign to indicated there's a camera mounted - never. I have been captured at least 5 times in my life.

The only place where cameras are indicated is when they are for guiding property, in which case the PUBLIC MUST BE INFORMED.

You want to cruise 100k/m at a 30km/h zone but slow down to 30km/h when you see the camera?

You are not wiser than the planners of effective traffic system . I bet you.

Besides, the first attempt at introducing VAT, the introduction of Traffic-Tex Ghana has been the poorest exercise of its kind. Typical of the Ghana Police, all that the policy is about is “catching “ and punishing non-compliance, Who have they educated and how? What were the inputs of road users, both pedestrians and drivers? What were the benefits of compliance to the driver, other road users, the society at large and impact on the roads. The impact of non-compliance beyond the driver? Did the education influence the original plan of implementation, or the scope? I drive, both on roads in the towns and on the highway and I never had any encounter relating to training for implementation. An otherwise brilliant attempt to bring sanity on our roads has been messed up. Papa Police, please come again.

With this initiative, Ghana don’t have to run to the crook imf for loans..this is a laudable idea and whoever brought this idea needs to be appreciated but I agree to the concerns..there must be 1. Good road networks 2. Visible speed limit and the camera too sometimes needs to be visible..but this is such a great idea..African government needs to learn how to generate revenue internally other than always relying on natural resources which don’t even help the ordinary citizens..this if continued and free of corruption can go a long way to generate a lot of money for the country as there is too much indiscipline in Ghana As a country..this is so great but there must be transparency and also visible speed limit and camera..kudos to the govt..I hope the toll booths will be fixed too..imagine driving quality roads in Ghana and paying fines or road tolls, I personally don’t mind koraa because at the end of the day u will get better roads to drive on..electronic road tolls should be next

This initiative right here is far more important than many resources combined because this is highly controlled by the govt himself..these are the things the Ghana govt needs to focus on.even if in a day 1,000 drivers are given tickets, u can do the maths..this is the secret to why and how some countries are wealthy..this is even better initiative than growing cocoa that will require 6years for u to cultivate and then the white man will be the one determining the price..As Mahama is fixing some of the roads in Ghana, he should put electronic tolls on them so he can generate more revenues so every road in Ghana can be connected for easy accessibility and mobility..easy accessibility mobility of roads country makes the country strive..

Yeah sign posting cameras ahead are very good to warn, remind, and educate people and can be far away before approaching the camera zones, however, cameras do not have to be visible. In advance countries, not all cameras are visible. Some places and areas are visible but not all places and that's why we keep getting speeding tickets and points on our licenses, and if that doesn't serve a deterrent, you end up losing your license after accumulating certain number of points on your license. Its simple as that. You can be warned cameras are here but do not have to know where exactly are the cameras.
