Ghanaian actor Don Little has urged the Ghana Police Service to address several concerns surrounding its speed limit enforcement measures, questioning how the proposed system will work for ordinary motorists and whether everyone will be held to the same standards.
The actor raised the issues in a video shared on his social media platforms on November 4, 2026, where he appealed to the Police to prioritise public education and ensure drivers are properly informed about speed restrictions before enforcing them.
He believes motorists should not be left guessing about the permitted speeds on different roads, suggesting that clearly marked speed limit signs should be installed at visible locations to guide drivers.
“Ghana Police, the speed limits you have been talking about will not favour us. Try to print them out and paste them on walls, or anywhere they will be visible to motorists while driving,” he said.
Don Little also highlighted the difficulties motorists could face when travelling behind vehicles experiencing mechanical problems.
He questioned whether drivers who have urgent appointments or are running late for work would be required to maintain the pace of a vehicle moving unusually slowly, even when there is sufficient space to overtake safely.
“Someone might be having problems with their car and may not be able to drive fast. Should we also follow that person when we are running late for work or heading somewhere important? If there is enough space in front of the vehicle, are we not allowed to overtake?” he queried.
Another issue that caught his attention was the possible treatment of convoys under the speed enforcement arrangements.
The actor wanted to know whether vehicles travelling with police escorts would be monitored and penalised under the same regulations that apply to other road users.
He also challenged the Police to explain what action would be taken against motorists who allegedly use official escorts or convoys to drive against traffic on one-way roads.
“Will those who drive against traffic on one-way roads with the help of convoys or police escorts also be fined?” he asked.
He extended the question to funeral processions and convoys attending social gatherings, seeking clarification on whether they would be exempt from penalties when their movements breached traffic regulations.
Don Little’s concerns also touched on the possibility of selective enforcement, particularly when individuals connected to powerful people commit traffic offences.
He singled out the children of government officials, asking whether the Police would issue them speeding fines just as they would for motorists without influential connections.
“If an honourable person’s child also commits a speeding offence, what will you do? How will we know that you have sent them messages as well to inform them that they have been fined?” he questioned.
The actor further expressed uncertainty about the technology behind the speed monitoring exercise, asking whether the cameras positioned along roads were responsible for detecting speeding vehicles or whether the system relied on equipment operated from police vehicles.
“You operate this machine in a car. I am not sure the cameras installed along the streets are the ones working, so we really need some explanations,” Don Little further stated.
Below is a video of his statement.
