Mothibistad traffic department usually means the Mothibistad Road Traffic Inspectorate (RTI) / Traffic Department, a traffic law enforcement office run by Northern Cape Department of Roads and Public Works in the Northern Cape.

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something, or its page could not be checked, this page says so rather than repeating directory listings that are often out of date.
