Zeerust traffic department usually means the Zeerust Driving Licensing Testing Centre (DLTC), a driving licence testing centre run by Ramotshere Moiloa Local Municipality in North West.

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something, or its page could not be checked, this page says so rather than repeating directory listings that are often out of date.
