MTTD gets new speed detection device

The Motor, Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service would in coming week be operating with a newly acquired speed detection device, Laser Cam 4.

The device is a speed detection gun that can capture at once multiple motorists that violate the speed limit compared to the previous police speed gun which could only claim one offender at a time.

Personnel of the MTTD taken through a field training session on how to operate the Laser Cam 4 on the Kawukudi-37 link in Accra on Friday, November 1.

The devices donated by the Accra Metropolitan Assembly and the Bloomberg Philanthropies for Global Road Safety (AMA – BIGRS), during the training, helped see to the arrest of 13 motorists driving above the 50km/h speed limit.

The Metropolitan Chief Executive of Accra, Mohammed Adjei Sowah, who was present at the session, cautioned motorists to comply with the 50km/h and 30km/h speed limits in urban and school areas respectively as stipulated in Ghana Road Traffic Regulations (L.I.2180) when plying the city’s roads.

“We have a major challenge with speeding in Accra, this year over 1,500 people have died from road crashes. 95% of all vehicles on the Kawukudi-37 link were speeding above the speed limit and this is unacceptable. Once the police capture the evidence of your speeding and present it to the court, your guess is as good as mine,“ he said.

According to him, checking the speed of cars on the roads would go a long way to help reduce the high rate of road crash fatalities and injuries recorded in the city.
