MBOMBELA – Traffic volume is expected to increase on our roads as church-goers and holiday makers will be travelling to different places, for different reasons.
During this time of the year, road accidents increase and studies have shown that this is caused motorists who get impatient over the high traffic on the road.
As usual, it is expected that traffic officials would come out in numbers to create visibility and conduct road blocks.

* Always make sure that you leave home early and you know the directions of your destination
* Respect and always follow the roads signs
* If you have been driving for long hours just go to a safe place and relax, take a walk just to stretch your legs
* Refrain from using your mobile phone while driving, because your mind will not be focused on the road
