WELCOME TO ROAD TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT CORPORATION
Through this internet portal we envisage to open a two-way flow of information to allow an interactive communication process with the public and stakeholders.
Communication underpins the effective execution of our mandate and we are confident that our portal will serve as a vehicle through which issues of road safety can be effectively communicated.
The Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) commenced its operations in April 2005 with the main purpose to pool powers and resources to eliminate the fragmentation of responsibilities for all aspects of road traffic management across the various levels of government in South Africa, and to bring a professional approach and improved confidence into the entire system.
The RTMC was established in terms of Section 3 of the Road Traffic Management Corporation Act, No. 20 of 1999, for co-operative and coordinated strategic planning, regulation, facilitation and law enforcement in respect of road traffic matters by the national, provincial and local spheres of government.
At the RTMC we face a tough challenge to fight lawlessness on our roads, to improve the overall safety of our road users and to encourage responsible road usage behavior.
We have a mandate to establish and run an effective road management system to ensure the safety and quality of life of our citizens and we are taking this responsibility very seriously. This has to be a shared responsibility between government, business, community groups and individuals.
FUNCTIONAL AREAS OF THE RTMC ARE:
- Training of traffic personnel;
- Road traffic information;
- Accident investigations and recording thereof;
- Communication and education;
- Infrastructure safety audits;
- Road traffic law enforcement;
- Vehicle registration and licensing;
- Vehicle and roadworthiness testing;
- Testing and licensing of drivers; and
- Administrative adjudication of road traffic offences (AARTO)
If we work in harmony, side by side, we will achieve our common goal of safer roads and responsible road users. There is no room for self-interest. It does not matter if you are a driver, passenger, pedestrian, vehicle owner or traffic law enforcer - accountability, consideration and vigilance save lives!
