Mabopane traffic department usually means the Mabopane Licensing Centre (Mabopane DLTC, also known as Ipeleng Testing Centre), a traffic and licensing office run by City of Tshwane (agent of Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport, GPDRT) in Gauteng.

Only details confirmed on an official source are shown. Where the authority does not publish something, or its page could not be checked, this page says so rather than repeating directory listings that are often out of date.
