TRAFFIC UPDATE\u26a0\ufe0f
\nThursday, 17 April 2025<\/p>\n

HEAVY TRAFFIC| As the Easter long weekend approaches, traffic volumes are expected to increase significantly on roads leading into Limpopo from this afternoon and later into the evening. <\/p>\n

To ensure a safe journey, law enforcement officers are already deployed at strategic locations along major routes and critical points to manage traffic flow, curb traffic violations, and ensure safety on the roads.<\/p>\n

Motorists are advised to exercise caution on the following key roads, which are expected to experience increased traffic volumes: the N1, N11, R101, R81, R71, R579, R37, R36, R40, R528, R574, R516, R521, D4040, D19, D4, R524, and R523. Be prepared for heavy and slow-moving traffic on some of these roads.<\/p>\n

To stay safe on the roads, follow these tips:
\n– Plan your trip ahead and include regular breaks every 2 hours or 200 km to avoid fatigue.
\n– Drive during the day for added safety.
\n– Buckle up, stay within the speed limit, and avoid overtaking on barrier lines.<\/p>\n

Let’s work together towards Every Day Without A Road Death. Road safety is everyone’s responsibility.<\/p>\n
