Traffic authorities prepare for high volumes today─── MARK STEENBOK 09:20 Mon, 25 Sep 2017
Bloemfontein - Traffic authorities in the Free State are ready for high traffic volumes on all the major routes in the province, as people travel back home after the long weekend.
The Department of Police, Roads and Transport’s Kabelo Moloabi says that they will have zero tolerance for any criminal activities and urges motorists to abide by the rules of the road.
He adds that it has been a bleak weekend on Free State roads, with a number of road crashes.
“The long weekend was not very nice, because we experienced a number of road accidents, although some were minor, it is not what we want to see on our roads. On Thursday we had a terrible accident on the road from Golden Gate to Phuthaditjhaba, in which four people were fatally injured. On the R48 between Petrusburg and Koffiefontein, we lost three occupants, including a minor. We want to urge road users to comply and make sure we all buckle up,” says Moloabi.
