Cape Town – Reduced speed limits,heavy vehicles to be banned during rush hour… earlier in 2015, Wheels24 reported on the new draft road and traffic regulations for South Africa by the National Transport Department.
Draft regulations intended to reduce road carnage include slower speed limits, the banning of carrying children in a bakkie load bay and restricting the use of heavy vehicles on public roads.
TheJustice Project South Africa claims the proposals were “bastardised by persons at the Department of Transport”.
Earlier in 2015, the Transport department told Wheels24 the proposed regulations would possibly be implemented by the end of 2015.
When will the laws be implemented?
Transport department spokesman Ishmael Mnisi told Wheels24 that the proposed legislation would have to be presented to his party’s cabinet, be discussed in Parliament and include public input. He said the department hoped to implement the proposed regulations by the end of 2015.
As of November 2015, it’s unclear whether the government will pass any of the proposed legislation.
