PLANS are afoot for the roll-out of the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (Aarto) Act system which is expected to come into effect on July 1.
RTIA spokesperson Monde Mkalipi told The Mercury that more than 14 000 people died on the roads every year and therefore the demerit system aimed to ensure road users made better decisions.“The Aarto Act, therefore, seeks to promote road traffic quality by providing for a scheme to discourage contraventions, and to facilitate the adjudication of infringements.
He said the province had been gearing up for the roll-out and many of its traffic officers had already undergone training. Through these workshops, the department was also integrating the SAPS, metro police and traffic police to ensure that everyone was on the same page.“We are ready and can’t wait to have it implemented fully,” said Ncalane.
