Motorists urged to be cautious as thousands flock to July
KZN Transport is urging motorist to drive responsibly as
most visitors and holiday makers make their way to KZN ahead of the
much-anticipated Durban July this weekend.
Spokesperson Kwanele Ncalane urged drivers to plan their trips and exercise extra vigilance as most roads are damaged from the recent floods.
"We call all road users when approaching construction sites to abide by the rules and follow the signage.
"We are going to deploy police and make sure that there are mobile robots and other speed calming measures that are part of the traffic management plan that has been developed by the department and Sanral.

"In addition to that, there are still other areas that are most affected," says Ncalane.
"The N3 and N2 in Umgababa, N2 uMhlanga River Bridge, N2 uMhlali bridge. M4 and R102, which are alternatives to N2 has parts that are still closed due to sinkholes caused by floods. People must anticipate that there will be traffic delay."
