AARTO Phase 2 Implementation Proceeds as Scheduled
The Road Traffic Infringement Authority (RTIA) welcomes the order handed down yesterday, 30 June 2026, by the Gauteng Division of the High Court, Pretoria, in the urgent application brought by the South African Local Government Association (SALGA).
SALGA sought to interdict the implementation of Phase 2 of the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences Act (AARTO), which is scheduled to commence on 1 July 2026.
On 23 June 2026, SALGA instituted urgent application against the Minister of Transport, the RTIA, the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC), and the Minister of Finance. SALGA raised concerns on the regulatory framework for the implementation of Phase Two of AARTO, infrastructure and equipment readiness of issuing authorities, and the financial model for municipalities.
