Very confusing km/h zone

I don't believe it will be fair to charge a fine if a driver will speed up with more than 20 km/h up to 50 if the speed zone isn't clear.

With reference to the article in the News dated 19 February 2021 and headline Road fine process explained the following …

It seems there’re specific locations where these cameras, as discussed, will be placed on our roads.

What the traffic department also needs to know is that on some roads there are two different speed signs on the opposite sides of the road.

Today (20 February 2021) for instance, on Commissioner Street between the two intersections of the R28/ Pretoria Road and Luipaard Street I found a 60km/h zone on the left side and a 20km/h zone on the right side at the same spot, which is very confusing.

I don’t believe it will be fair to fine somebody who drives at 60km/h if the speed limit differs.

On Main Reef Road up to Randfontein there are also confusing speed zones between Lewisham and the R28 traffic lights.

Also please paint the road markings on the roads properly, as this could cause lots of accidents of not done correctly.
