The Ghana Police Service has cautioned motorists to be on the lookout for fraudsters as automated enforcement of road traffic regulations under the TraffiTech-GH system takes effect.
The Police are urging drivers to verify the authenticity of traffic violation notices and use only approved payment channels when settling fines.
In a statement issued on November 4, 2026, the Service said all genuine traffic violation notifications would be sent exclusively through the official sender ID GPS-MTTD, warning motorists not to trust messages received from ordinary mobile phone numbers.
Motorists who receive Electronic Notice of Violation (ENV) messages have also been advised to open their tickets and carefully check the accompanying vehicle photograph, registration number, location, date and time of the alleged offence.
They are further encouraged to watch the accompanying video evidence, where available, before making any payment.
The Police have outlined two approved channels through which motorists can pay their traffic fines.
The first is the NIB Payment Portal, accessible at https://traffitech-ghpay.nib.com.gh. Motorists are required to select the ‘Make Payment’ option, enter their ticket number and follow the instructions.
Alternatively, drivers can dial *710*0# and follow the prompts to complete payment using their ticket numbers.
The Service has strongly warned motorists and vehicle owners against sending traffic fines to personal mobile money numbers or making payments through unofficial accounts.
“Never pay a traffic fine into a personal mobile-money number or through any unofficial account,” the statement cautioned.
The TraffiTech-GH project, which is designed to automate the enforcement of road traffic laws and regulations, officially commenced on November 1, 2026.
The Police say motorists must remain vigilant and follow the approved procedures to avoid falling victim to fraudsters seeking to exploit the new system.
