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;
