Handover of specialised BMWs to enhance WC Provincial Traffic

11 September 2023

On Tuesday 12 September 2023, Western Cape Minister of Mobility, Ricardo Mackenzie, will officially hand over the first batch of 31 new Traffic Enforcement vehicles to his department's Traffic Law Enforcement branch.

The new BMWs are not standard sedans, but specialised vehicles that have been converted and optimised for the work of traffic law enforcement on the main provincial and national roads.

The use of advanced in-vehicle technology, which includes licence plate recognition cameras, will enable Provincial Traffic officers to be even more effective in making the Western Cape safe and reducing the number of road crash fatalities.

Date:     Tuesday 12 September 2023

Time:   10h00

Venue:  N1 Huguenot Toll Plaza (inbound side of the road)
