    A reflective emergency warning triangle is now a compulsory article in all motor vehicles. Charles Reynolds, Chief Director of Traffic Management in the Eastern Province, said all vehicles registered after July 1, 2007 must carry at least one emergency warning triangle sign in terms of Regulation 214 (2) (a) of the National Road Traffic Act.

    A reflective emergency warning triangle is now a compulsory article in all motor vehicles. Charles Reynolds, Chief Director of Traffic Management in the Eastern Province, said all vehicles registered after July 1, 2007 must carry at least one emergency warning triangle sign in terms of Regulation 214 (2) (a) of the National Road Traffic Act.

    Motorists without a triangle in their car could be fined up to R500. The only vehicles excluded from this regulation are ambulances, vehicles registered before 1 July 2006, motorcycles, motor tricycles and motor quadbicycles.

    Reynolds said goods vehicles, minibuses and buses first registered before 1 July 2007, will not be allowed on a public road without at least one emergency reflective triangle sign in the vehicle.

    “Prior to 1 July 2007, only goods vehicles such as trucks, buses and minibuses were required to carry the sign, but now it applies to everybody due to the changed legislation for safety reasons.”
