The motor vehicles and traffic regulations of 2026 open for public consultation

The Employers and Industrialists Federation (OEB) informs that the Department of Road Transport has opened a public consultation on the draft of the Motor Vehicles and Traffic (Amendment) Regulations of 2026.

The proposed amendment increases the maximum allowable vehicle height from 4 meters to 4.5 meters.

It is noted that the Motor Vehicles and Traffic (Amendment) Regulations of 2025, which came into force on November 14, 2025, already set the maximum height at 4.5 meters for vehicles and combinations carrying containers. The proposed regulation extends this maximum height to all vehicles.
