The Limpopo provincial department has reported a high visibility of traffic officials as the province gears up for a busy Easter weekend.
The department said speed operations to curb infringements and encourage good driver behaviour on the roads are underway.
Transport spokesperson Tidimalo Chuene said the department is sufficiently braced for high traffic volumes expected in the province over the next few days.
“Law enforcement officers will be working around the clock between April 6-10 to maximise visibility and aid the flow of traffic, especially on critical routes prone to congestion,” she said.
These include the N1 especially around tollgates, the R101, R510, R516, N11, R37, R555, R521, R524, R523, R36, R40, R71, R81 and P277/1, the Matlala Road, local routes and the two border posts in the province, Beitbridge and Groblersbrug.
Traffic on the R71 is also expected to increase as the ZCC St Engenas branch goes ahead with its annual Easter prayer service.
