Note: Areas flagged 54918 ONLY apply to the Amendment Act commencement (GG 54918) but are not listed in the principal-Act commencement schedule (GG 54917). If your municipality does not appear in this list, the AARTO adjudication system is not yet operative in that area and the existing criminal traffic fine process continues to apply.
