  • 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

  • Motorists are being urged to contact the department of transport and claim the damages to their vehicles caused by the roads and potholes in South Africa
  • The national government is aware of the dangerous road conditions across the country which has resulted in them announcing a R22billion budget over the next three years on a countrywide pothole repair program.
  • This program is expected to create over 70 000 jobs in its first year. It aims to improve the road conditions of any road (highways, toll-roads and suburban roads) and repair any potholes which have been causing damage to motorist’s vehicles. Depending on how much the roads get used, the rainfall and the weather conditions can all cause the potholes to get larger and have an impact on the condition of the roads.

  • The bad roads are also having a major impact on our countries economy
  • The Automobile Association (AA) said that if there was proper maintenance of our roads, then there could be an immediate decrease in about 5% of road deaths, costing the economy about R40billion. South Africa’s has more than 700000 accidents occurring annually

      What is the main cause behind the potholes, according to CSIR?
  • According to CSIR (The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research), the main cause behind the pothole situation lies in a lack of adequate improvement in the preventative maintenance on a number of roads.

      What is the situation in Gauteng?
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • The roads in Gauteng have been under serious scrutiny. In recent media reports, it was identified that, in a space of six years, the amount of roads considered to be in a poor to very poor condition had increased from 20-46%. This deterioration has led the Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) to roll out a 'road rehabilitation campaign' which aims to address and repair 12 703 potholes and 37 545 patchings and clearings.

Gauteng e-toll

shared by Goosen E on 23 Jan 17 - No Cached
  • 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%
