In the last hour, we had 1450 vehicles an hour. So clearly a lot of the holidaymakers are coming to the end of their holidays and returning home. Our plea to motorists is please be patient under those conditions you’ve had a wonderful holiday but obviously it’s not over until you’re home safely.

Traffic is also expected to be congested later on Sunday and Monday on many of the national and provincial roads. According to Community Safety, Security and Liaison spokesperson, Moeti Mmusi they are hoping that motorists will drive with caution. Traffic volumes remain high on the N1 and N2 in Cape Town and other major routes in Western Cape. Provincial traffic authorities have been deployed to monitor traffic flow and assist motorists.
