  • e-toll (in South Africa) consists of the electronic toll collection (ETC) processes employed by South Africa's roads agency Sanral on selected toll roads or toll lanes, subject to the Sanral Act of 1998. As of 2014, 19% of South Africa's national roads were toll roads. Sanral derives its income both from toll income and the national fiscus, while initial capital outlay for large projects are funded by open market bond issues.[1]
  • Open road tolling went live in Gauteng province on December 3, 2013,[3] when the province had some 3.5 million registered vehicles.[1] The Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project led to a large decrease in traffic congestion when construction finished 2011-2012

Gauteng's e-tolls & you - 2 views

  • Whether we like it or not, e-tolling has arrived in Gauteng. Up until now the gantries erected across the province's highways have been a new addition to the urban landscape and the object of much anger, but they have not yet played a role in picking our pockets.
  • The e-toll team is made up of two entities: the first is state-owned enterprise South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral), which is the implementing authority, and Electronic Toll Collection (ETC), which is the operating company.
  • Sanral is responsible for the design, financing, maintenance, operation and rehabilitation of South Africa's national toll and non-toll roads,

      10. How would the road user benefit from fitting an e-tag?
  • 43 overhead gantries along the N1, N3, N12 and R21 highways
  • Each gantry is fitted with toll collection equipment that recognises a vehicle's e-tag (if one has in fact been fitted) and photographs the front and back vehicle licence plate number as well as the top of the vehicle. The e-tag will reportedly emit a 'beep' when passing under a gantry.
  • Sanral's argument is that by fitting an e-tag the user will qualify for discounted tariffs of 48%

  • The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) says they remain firm on their stance in fighting e-tolling.
  • We made it very clear and we are filling our cases now of our intentions to defend our members in court and that Sanral and government have introduced this scheme unlawfully."
  • The Justice Project South Africa (JPSA), which is also firmly opposed to e-tolling, says the only way to find out if the discount was a success will be if the Minister of Transport Dipuo Peters is questioned in Parliament.
  • JPSA National Chairperson Howard Dembovsky says, "When it comes to the 60% discount thing, the only time we are going to know whether it was or was not successful will be when members of Parliament ask a direct question to the Minister of transport.
  • "This 60% discount is much better than paying the whole amount. I am happy with this 60% discount my bill came a little bit lower.Now I am trying by all means to avoid these highways because I am scared to pay again."
