SANRAL’s proposed plans to apply an electronic tolling (e-Toll) process to Gauteng Freeways has many residents up in arms over the added expenses.
But what does it mean for Durbanites visiting Johannesburg? South African National Roads Agency Limited spokesman, Vusi Mona, said motorists visiting Gauteng would have to pay within seven days without registering an e-toll account, or register an account, or purchase a day pass.
“There are various ways to get e-toll ready if you are a visitor to Gauteng. You can make a payment for toll transactions within the seven day grace period, without registering an e-toll account or purchase a day pass, the e-toll fees may be paid online, by calling the e-toll call centre or at an e-toll customer service centre,” he said.
“In this case it will be required that the road-user provide his vehicle licence plate number,” he said. Mona added, a day pass cannot be obtained from a retailer.
