According to Cape Town’s traffic spokesperson Searle Johannes, the City’s Easter traffic plans have already kicked in as there has been an influx of people leaving and entering the City.

“The measures that we’ve taken is to have more traffic officers on the road, we also envisage having more roadblocks and we are going to concentrate on things such as moving violations, drunken driving and speeding,” says Johannes.

Johannes advises motorists to ensure that they have a valid drivers’ licence card with them at all times.

“If you are going to undertake long journeys, make sure you rest every 200 kilometres or every two hours. You need a 15 to 20 minute break just to refresh yourself,” explains Johannes.

The traffic department urges motorists to drive carefully.
