The draft regulations, published in the Government Gazette, propose these 5 changes to legislation:

2 No more than five people to be carried in a bakkie load bed
3 Children not to be transported in a bakkie load bed
4 Speed limits to be reduced from 60 to 40km/h in urban areas, from 100 to 80km/h in rural areas and from 120 to 100km/h on freeways running through a residential area
5 Goods vehicles above 9000kg GVM to be banned from public roads during peak travelling times
