About this statute

This law governs road traffic to prevent road traffic accidents. This article defines key terms used in the law, including vehicle, road traffic accident, fatal road traffic accident, Minister, investigator, road, authorised officer, person, competent authority, and driver. This provision says the law applies to road traffic, but not to railways, cableways, or other special routes. Vehicles must travel on the right-hand side of the road. Road traffic rules cover how road users, vehicles, and animals move on the road, plus accident duties, officer instructions, vehicle standards, loading, inspections, signs, and vehicle markings. The Minister is empowered to detail these rules by Order.
