Article 84 explained in plain English
This article requires the Minister of Interior to issue the Implementing Regulations of the Traffic Law, and sets a period of 180 days from the date of the law's publication for this.
The Implementing Regulations are the tool by which the provisions of the law are completed in the details that it refers to them, such as procedures and conditions. The authority responsible for issuing them is the Minister of Interior under this article.
Note that the article specifies three elements:
- The issuing authority: the Minister of Interior.
- The period: 180 days.
- The start of the period: the date of the law's publication, not the date it comes into force.
This article is linked to Article 85, which provides for publishing the law in the Official Gazette and its coming into force 180 days after its publication. The two periods are equal and start from the same date, which is the date of publication. It is also linked to Article 83, which provides that this law replaces the Traffic Law issued by Royal Decree No. (M/49) dated 6/11/1391 AH and its amendments, and repeals any provisions that conflict with it.
To learn the details of applying any provision that the articles of the law refer to the Implementing Regulations, consult the Implementing Regulations issued by the Minister of Interior.
