Road Traffic Infringement Authority (RTIA) is set to rollout the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences system (AARTO) to 69 municipalities across the country on  December 1ST this year.  This it says is an effort to curb the high number of road fatalities in the country.  Most sections of the act will come into effect in major municipalities across the country on December 1ST , 2025, followed by the remaining municipalities on April 1, 2026. The remaining sections of the AARTO Act (26 to 28), which includes the demerit points, are set to take effect on September 1, 2026.
