According to a statement issued by the SA National Roads Agency (Sanral), adjustments to the tariffs are in accordance with the consumer price index over the preceding 12 months, and includes the increase in VAT from 14% to 15%.

The newly adjusted tariffs will apply on the N3 toll road between Johannesburg and Durban, on the N4 between the Mozambican and the Botswana borders, as well as on the toll road sections of the N1, N2, N17 and R30.

The monthly toll cap for compliant users of Class A2 (light) vehicles is adjusted from R250 a month to R266 a month.

Discounts for frequent users as well as qualifying local users will remain applicable.
