Traffic Department

Traffic enforcement in Gqeberha involves roadworthiness testing, licence disc processing, and accident administration across the city's growing network of roads and intersections. The Traffic Department handles the practical work of vehicle inspections, processing learner and driving licence applications, and managing accident reports — tasks that require coordination between municipal systems, SAPS reporting, and national transport databases. Winter rainfall in the Eastern Cape can affect road conditions and create congestion during peak hours, adding complexity to traffic flow management. The department manages both routine administrative work and incident response, with procedures that link directly to insurance claims, police investigations, and vehicle registration updates.
