Take it easy this Easter with...

This communiqué comes with the compliments of Bakwena.In the interests of a safe journey for you, our valued road user.

The Easter weekend starts from around midday on the Thursday, before Good Friday and ends on Easter Monday.Over the long weekend, travellers can expect all toll roads to be very busy – and the Bakwena N1 N4 Toll Road is one of the busiest in the country.

As has been the case in the past, the N1 from Gauteng northwards to Polokwane/Pietersburg is almost certain to be abnormally busy at this time, with hundreds of thousands of people expected to participate in the Moria Festival, which takes place annually over the Easter period.

In the peak periods, we anticipate that anything up to 2 400 vehicles per hour will pass through the Carousel and Pumulani Plazas – a traffic increase of between 60% and 80% above normal peaks, and over double normal daily traffic. Bearing this in mind, motorists are strongly advised to plan their journeys and avoid peak periods as far as possible.

Be aware that from Thursday at 12:00 and all day on Good Friday, the roads will be extremely busy. There will be in excess of 500 buses travelling on the Bakwena toll road to Zion City at Moria, Polokwane.
TIP: Plan your journey in advance and avoid the peaks!
