JMPD clamping down on suburban speedsters
Motor News was alerted by a reader who noticed more traffic fines from less congested suburb roads — and a worrying trend of Aarto infringement notices from two different sources: PayFine and PayCity.
On the matter of speed law monitoring, JMPD spokesperson Xolani Fihla said the observation about an increase in traffic speed fines issued for suburban roads (specifically for speeds of 70km/h to 80km/h in 60km/h zones) is correct.
'The JMPD continuously monitors and enforces speed limits across all road classifications, including suburban areas, as part of our commitment to road safety and reducing accidents,' he said.
'Our enforcement efforts do involve partnerships. The JMPD has a contract with Syntel for the provision of advanced law enforcement and crash management. The partnership assists us with aspects of traffic law enforcement, which can include the processing and issuance of infringement notices.'

President Park resident is wary of growing number of vendors
President Park resident Malcom James is concerned about the alleged lack of by-law enforcement at the corner of Modderfontein and Dale roads, wondering if all those vendors around that intersection have approved trading permits. Read more: City digitises informal traders permit application process He said, almost everything is sold there. From livestock and chickens, to fruits, vegetables, and soft drinks. 'It seems like almost every busy intersection is becoming a vending space. It's becoming an awful eyesore as people are selling sheep, chickens, and other items. There's like six or seven people selling different things, which I strongly believe is against the city by-law.' He said, as a tax and rates payer, he is worried that it might be out of control, adding that he is not a bad person, and understood that people needed to make a living, but he questioned if they had vending permits, or were just doing as they pleased. 'They litter everywhere. Johannesburg Metro Police Department [JMPD] passes there every day and don't enforce the by-law. I'm sensitive to people trying to make a living and I'm sympathetic to that, but we also have to consider the value of our properties. Before you know it, they will be erecting shacks there.' JMPD was contacted via their spokesperson, Superintendent Xolani Fihla. Their comment will be updated as soon as it becomes available.

AARTO officially gazetted: How the points system will work
A total of 69 municipalities will implement AARTO from the beginning of December, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Ekhuruleni, Mbombela, Polokwane, Durban, Newcastle, Ladysmith, Bloemfontein, Qgeberha, East London, Cape Town, Stellenbosch, George and Beaufort West. Image: Ayanda Ndamane / Independent Newspapers The national rollout of the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences Amendment Act (AARTO) has been officially gazetted, after President Ramaphosa signed the Proclamation on Friday. According to the Government Gazette issued on August 1, most sections of the act will come into effect in major municipalities across the country on December 1, 2025, followed by the remaining municipalities on April 1, 2026. The remaining sections of the AARTO Act (26 to 28), which are believed to include the dreaded demerit points, are set to take effect on September 1, 2026. A total of 69 municipalities will implement AARTO from the beginning of December, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Ekhuruleni, Mbombela, Polokwane, Durban, Newcastle, Ladysmith, Bloemfontein, Qgeberha, East London, Cape Town, Stellenbosch, George and Beaufort West. From April, the rollout will extend to 75 smaller municipalities, including Musina, Umdoni, Lepelle, Okhahlamba, Richmond, Kokstad, Blouberg, Great Kei and Sundays River. In July, the Road Traffic Infringement Agency (RTIA) said service outlets had been created across the country and over 25,000 traffic officers were currently being trained to implement the new system within the confines of the law. RTIA Spokesperson Monde Mkalipi said AARTO would decriminalise minor traffic offences in order to take strain off the courts. Rather than sending summonses to those who failed to pay their fines, which often do not even reach the courts, the new system would encourage compliance by blocking the renewal of vehicle and driving licences for those with outstanding fines. Motorists who pay their fines within 32 days will receive a 50% discount. If not paid during this initial period, the fine is elevated to RTIA level, where a courtesy letter is sent to remind recipients of their rights. Motorists then have a further 32 days in which to dispute the infringement or transfer it to another driver. So far this new process has only been applicable to Johannesburg and Pretoria, which formed part of the pilot phase for AARTO. How the points system will work Every motorist begins with zero demerit points on their driving licence, with different demerit points prescribed for various offences. If a total of 15 points is exceeded, the licence will be suspended for three months for each point over this threshold. These rules also apply to vehicle operator cards. Although numerous offences will be 'decriminalised' under AARTO, such as minor speeding infringements and failure to wear a seatbelt, more serious offences will result in criminal procedures. These include driving under the influence, driving with a suspended licence and 'excessive' speeding, in which you exceed the limit by more than 40km/h. The AARTO system has been delayed numerous times, with the legislation having been in development since 1998. It has also faced numerous legal hiccups, culminating in it being declared unconstitutional by the Pretoria High Court in January 2022. This was effectively overturned by the Constitutional Court of South Africa in July 2023, paving the way for its implementation. However, advocacy organisations such as the Automobile Association (AA) and the Organisation for Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA) have challenged and criticised the AARTO system, with the latter initiating the aforementioned 2022 court case. 'Introducing legislation will not solve the country's road safety crisis. This merely creates an impression of action while nothing will change on the ground, where it is needed. As part of our contention, we point to the fact that there is no evidence that the AARTO pilot project saved a single life,' the AA said. However, the RTIA believes strengthening laws for road traffic compliance was paramount, as research shows that more than 80% of road crashes are a result of human error. Cape Argus

AARTO launch dates confirmed as national rollout is officially gazetted by President Ramaphosa

If a total of 15 points is exceeded, the licence will be suspended for three months for each point over this threshold. These rules also apply to vehicle operator cards. More than two suspensions will lead to the licence being cancelled altogether, and the driver will then need to redo the entire licensing process, starting with a learner's licence. According to previously released information, minor speeding infringements will result in the loss of one to two demerit points, while disobeying a stop sign or robot, or missing one number plate will see two points being deducted.
