National Road Traffic Regulations 2012 with the 2016 Amendments

National Road Traffic Regulations 2012 with the 2016 Amendments.

The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) is the federal government body that is responsible for the prevention of accidents on the highway and other ancillary services. The FRSC in line with section 5 of the Federal Road Safety Commission (Establishment) Act made the federal regulation; the National Road Traffic Regulations 2012.

National Road Traffic Regulations 2012 is made by the FRSC to give (a.) “… effect to the Geneva Convention on Road Traffic of September 19, 1949 and the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals of November 8, 1968;” (b.) ” provide operational requirements, rules and regulations ….” and (c.) “provisions relating to exempted bodies, operators of transport services, operation of ambulance services and towing vehicles;” and (d.) “provide miscellaneous motor traffic regulations to ensure road safety”.

Ahead of the National Road Traffic Regulations 2012 is the National Road Traffic Regulations 2004. The National Road Traffic Regulations 2004 has been repealed (invalidated and replaced) by the National Road Traffic Regulations 2012. On the 4th day of January 2016, the National Road Traffic Regulations 2012 was amended by the National Road Traffic (Amendment) Regulations, 2016.

The National Road Traffic (Amendment) Regulations 2016, amended 41 regulations and 3 schedules in the National Road Traffic Regulations 2012. Hence, the National Road Traffic (Amendment) Regulations 2016 does not replace the National Road Traffic Regulations 2012, rather the National Road Traffic Regulations 2012 is still valid and operational, although with amendments brought in by the National Road Traffic (Amendment) Regulations 2016. So, to have a complete version of the National Road Traffic Regulations 2012, one has to read the National Road Traffic Regulations 2012 and the National Road Traffic (Amendment) Regulations 2016, until both documents are merged into a single document.

In summary, below are the 2 documents that make up the the National Road Traffic Regulations;
