North-West Engagements on AARTO Readiness Set to Enhance Road Safety

The Road Traffic Infringement Agency (RTIA) is taking a significant step in the national rollout of the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (AARTO) Act with a series of engagements in the North-West province from 12-14 August 2025.

These provincial activities are a crucial part of the AARTO Act’s implementation, which aims to improve road safety and promote greater compliance with traffic laws. The focus will be on four key areas:
• Issuing Authority Readiness: Assessing the capacity of local municipalities to serve as AARTO issuing authorities.
• Service Outlet Setup: Overseeing the establishment of AARTO service outlets, which will be vital for motorists to handle infringement notices and other related matters.
• Public Awareness: Educating the public about the AARTO Act, its benefits, and the new demerit point system.
• Stakeholder Collaboration: Engaging with provincial stakeholders to ensure a collaborative approach to the implementation.

The engagements will take place in the following municipal areas: Mahikeng, Rustenburg, Madibeng, Ditsobotla, JB Marks Local, and City of Matlosana. The RTIA is committed to working with all stakeholders to ensure the successful implementation of the AARTO Act, making our roads safer for everyone.
