With the holidays just getting started 19 people lost their lives on South African roads within the first few hours.

Western Cape traffic officials say motorists should be patient, especially those that are traveling on the N2 highway past Somerset West. They say that area usually has a high pick up of traffic volumes.

All the province's traffic officials are scheduled to work in order to maintain law and order on Western Cape routes during the long weekend.The Arrive Alive campaign which was launched on Wednesday, aims to reduce the death toll on the roads this Easter.Last year, 67 people were killed on the province's roads during the Easter period.
