TRAFFIC UPDATE\u26a0\ufe0f
\nMonday, 21 April 2025
\nTime: 06H45 <\/p>\n

HEAVY TRAFFIC| Today, the last day of the Easter long weekend, is expected to see busy to heavy traffic on roads leading to Polokwane and out of Limpopo province. <\/p>\n

The N1 from Makhado through Polokwane up to Pienaarsrivier, as well as the R101, R71, R81, R36, and R37, are likely to be congested, with slow-moving traffic anticipated from mid-morning into the evening. <\/p>\n

Law enforcement officers remain strategically deployed to manage traffic flow and curb violations, ensuring a safer journey for all road users.<\/p>\n

For a safe and smooth journey, prioritize road safety by taking regular breaks every 2 hours or 200km, buckling up, not overloading passengers or goods, obeying speed limits, driving sober, and being mindful of pedestrians. <\/p>\n

Plan your trip, check traffic updates regularly, and allow extra time to account for unexpected delays. <\/p>\n

Stay safe, and enjoy the rest of your travels!<\/p>\n
