Sanral wants to expand GP e-tolling

Sanral has called for the additional phases of the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project to go ahead to ease Joburg’s congested roads. Sanral’s statement has come after nearly three weeks of presentations at the Gauteng e-toll panel, which have mainly been against e-tolling. The South African National Roads Agency (Sanral) said benefits were being ignored during the current debate. Spokesman Vusi Mona said some of the benefits were increased road safety, a decrease in congestion and travel times on the road that have resulted in the added benefit of cost saving for companies and individuals. Opposition to Urban Tolling Alliance(OUTA) chairman Wayne Duvenage said Sanral was missing the point
