We remain on high alert for especially long distance and public transport that may be returning after religious gatherings associated with the Easter period. We urge road users to be patient, rest regularly, buckle up, don’t drink and drive and don’t exceed the indicated speed limit. Only overtake when it is both lawful and safe.

The RTMC has commended travellers for being generally well behaved during the weekend. But it says it is concerned that close to 700 people have been arrested across the country for various offences.
