From September 2026, police in Ghana will stop regularly stopping drivers to check their documents.
Instead, cameras will record traffic offences, such as driving without insurance or not wearing a seatbelt.
Police will review the footage, and drivers who break the rules will receive a fine on their phones.
The government says this will make road checks easier and reduce roadside bribery.
