Glydr Roam: The Drivers' Speed Camera Map for TraffiTech-GH (What to Know Before You Use It)

Short answer: Glydr is a new Ghanaian carpooling app from RoamLabs Technology Ltd in Accra, and its Roam feature has become the drivers' answer to TraffiTech-GH: drivers tap Report when they pass a speed camera or a speed limit sign, and the app warns others, "Camera ahead. In 200 m. Keep to the limit." By 1 November 2026 drivers said more than 240 cameras had been mapped across Accra, Kumasi and Akosombo, covering less than 20% of those areas. It is useful, but it is young: its legal terms are still drafts, and Roam records your speed. Here is what to know before you use it.

What Glydr and Roam are

Glydr started as a cost-share carpool service: drivers going somewhere offer seats, riders pay a share of the trip, and the company says it checks IDs, confirms insurance and holds payments in escrow. It runs in Accra and on the Accra–Kumasi route.

Roam is the driving mode inside the app. While it is open it shows your speed, the speed limit on the road, and warnings for cameras other drivers have reported. It works in the browser at glydr.africa/app: you sign in with your phone number and a code sent by text, with no password. We did not find it in the Play Store or App Store.

How the camera map works

1. Open Roam before you drive. A map shows your speed (bottom left) and the current limit.
2. When you pass a camera or a limit sign, tap Report and choose Speed camera or the sign you saw: 30, 50, 80 or 100.
3. Two cars must agree. The app says a report is shown to other drivers "once two cars agree", which filters out mistakes and pranks.
4. Other drivers get a warning about 200 metres before the camera.

A group of drivers who mapped Accra and Kumasi this way said they had logged more than 100 cameras and 200 speed limit signs in their first runs. On 1 November, Godwin Duah (@dev_kobby) posted on X that about 240+ cameras had been mapped from Accra, Akosombo and Kumasi. See the areas in our TraffiTech-GH camera locations guide.

What is good about it

• It fills a real gap. The police have not published where TraffiTech-GH cameras are, and many are mobile. A live, shared map is the best guide drivers have.
• It shows speed limits, which matters more than the cameras: many Accra roads have 30 km/h signs that people miss.
• The two-car rule makes the map more reliable than a single report.
• Nothing to install: it opens in your phone's browser.

What to know before you use it

• Roam records your drive. Glydr's privacy policy says that while Roam is open it saves your route, your speed, the times, and the speed limits and warnings it showed you. Routes are kept for 12 months (longer if there is a safety case).
• Shared driving reports show your speed. If you share a drive, anyone with the link can see your route, speeds and times, until you switch the link off or delete the drive.
• It can be handed to the authorities. Like most apps, the policy says Glydr discloses data in response to a court order, subpoena or lawful regulator request.
• The rules are still drafts. The privacy policy is marked "v0.1-draft, pending final legal review", and the company's full address is "to be confirmed before public launch". That is normal for a new start-up, but it means the terms can change.
• It is not official. A camera that is not on the map can still catch you, and a reported camera may have moved. The only way to be safe from fines is to keep to the limit.

How to use it safely

• Never tap your phone while driving. Let a passenger report, or wait until you have stopped safely. Using a phone while driving is itself an offence.
• Mount the phone and set Roam up before you move.
• Turn off shared links you do not need, and delete old drives you do not want kept.
• Type the address yourself: glydr.africa. Expect copycats of any app that goes viral, and never pay anyone who claims to sell "premium camera alerts" or to "clear" your fines.

If you have been caught by a camera

The notice comes by text from GPS-MTTD to the vehicle's registered owner. Check it yourself on www.ghana.gov.gh, then pay there or with *222# within 14 days, or contest it.
