Reefz last time we were up we bought all our permits - boat and fishing from the main 'established' resort in the area. But i'm talking about chidenguele. Not sure about about the southern regions though.
The new regulations will come into effect 90 days from the 8 September, or in roughly two month’s time.
Your reflective vest must be made from polyester. You must be able to close you vest at the front, and adjust the vest at the sides. The vest must be equipped with polyvinyl reflective strips in yellow or green on the front, to the sides, and on the back of the vest. These strips must not be less than 400mm wide. You must wear your vest when at the scene of a car accident, when repairing your vehicle on the side of the road, and when reloading cargo that has fallen from your vehicle on to the road.
Each side of your triangle must be 500mm long and 50mm wide, with a thickness of roughly 5mm. The triangle must be uniformly-covered in red reflective material. The back of the triangle must either be uniformly white, or have a 5mm-wide white border. The edge of the triangle must be yellow. The reflective surfaces must be well-maintained. The triangle must be visible from at least 100m in the presence of light.
Reflective markings must be used on all vehicles and trailers over 10,000kg in weight or more than 6m long. Reflective markings should be placed on the sides and back or back edges of vehicles and trailers in continuous lines. Markings must be between 0.25m and 1.5m from the ground, and may be extended up to 2.1m. Reflective markings must be made of yellow reflective material, and be at least 50mm wide. If a marking is not continuous, than the distance separating markings must be no more than 80 percent of the length of each marking.
For non-compliance with the new regulations for reflective vests and reflective markings, you can expect a fine of between MT 500.00 and MT 1,000.00. For non-compliance with the new regulations for triangles the maximum fine is MT 500.00.
