Traffic volumes increase

Traffic volumes on South Africa’s roads are on the increase as millions holidaymakers return home after the Easter weekend. According to authorities most motorists seem to obey traffic rules. Traffic volume on the N3 heading from KwaZulu-Natal to Gauteng is expected to increase to more than three thousand vehicles per hour later today. The N1 is also experiencing large traffic volumes. More than 500 vehicles moved through the Verkeerdevlei Plaza north of Bloemfontein late this morning. The heaviest traffic volumes are however being experienced in Limpopo, as millions of Zionist Church members return from their annual Easter pilgrimage to Moira. Heavy traffic is also being experienced on main roads in the Western Cape.
