Traffic fine roadshow makes a return

The one-stop shop for fines and warrants has attracted huge interest in the past. It returns for a three-day spell at the end of this month.

The City of Cape Town’s Traffic Service, in collaboration with Legal Services and other departments, will host a traffic fine roadshow between Wednesday, 30 November and Friday, 2 December 2022.

Members of the public will have access to a one-stop shop to resolve outstanding fines and/or summonses or warrants, including:

•         All fine-related enquiries for vehicles registered in their name

•         Applying for a reduction on traffic fines issued within the City of Cape Town’s municipal boundaries

•         Paying outstanding fines

•         Enquiring about warrants and/or summons issued in their name and finalising these

•         Removing administration marks against their name on the Natis system

•         Renewing vehicle licenses

Should an individual not be able to attend the roadshow in person, they can send someone on their behalf, provided that the representative is able to produce their own Identity Document, a copy of the ID of the person who sent them, as well as an affidavit giving them permission to act on the other person’s behalf.

‘This is our first traffic fine roadshow since 2019, and previous events have shown that this is an incredibly popular initiative. It is an opportunity to wipe the slate, and so we encourage members of the public to make use of this opportunity to resolve their fines and ensure happy motoring this festive season. Not only does it bring peace of mind to motorists, particularly when they are confronted by a roadblock, but it also eases the pressure on our Traffic Service and municipal courts, who can focus on the scofflaws who refuse to take accountability for their transgressions,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security, Alderman JP Smith.

The roadshow will start at 08:30 daily until 14:00 and the location is the 2nd Floor, Podium Block, Civic Centre in the Cape Town CBD.

The City does reserve the right to amend operating times to ensure the smooth running of the event.

Members of the public interested in utilising the services on offer are therefore urged to arrive early to avoid disappointment.
