Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice

A specific section of the Working for Workers Six Act, 2024 that amends the Highway Traffic Act has been officially proclaimed and will come into force on January 1, 2027. Proclamation means the provision moves from being law on paper to being legally operative and enforceable on that date. Businesses and individuals subject to Highway Traffic Act rules should review what Schedule 2, section 1 of this Act changes about their obligations, as compliance will be required from that date. If your operations involve commercial vehicles, road transport, or other activities governed by the Highway Traffic Act, now is the time to assess whether any adjustments to practices or policies are needed before the provision takes effect.
