These national standards and targets have been prepared as a basis for road traffic law enforcement service providers (authorities) to implement government’s policies relating to road traffic management and road traffic law enforcement. They apply subject to all legislation in force and, in particular, the Road Traffic Management Corporation Act 1999, (Act No. 20 of 1999), and the National Road Traffic Act 1999, (Act No. 21 of 1999).

The standards described in this Code represent the collective input of stakeholders at national, provincial and local spheres of government and must be adopted by all road traffic law enforcement service providers.

The standards are a basis through which authorities can ensure satisfactory delivery of services. This Code also aims to provide strategic direction in addressing issues relating to road traffic law enforcement management and service provision.

The standards are issued as a controlled document which will be updated as new information becomes available. Users should ensure that they are operating with the latest version
