[VIDEO] Overtaking onto oncoming traffic on the N1 could be something of the past thanks to SANRAL initiative

POLOKWANE – In an effort to curb accidents on the N1, SANRAL have begun erecting yellow poles on the solid yellow line on the N1 from Kranskop to the Modimolle Mountain.

Spokesperson for the Department of Transport and Community Safety, Matome Moremi-Taueatsoala, who posted the video, says the poles will make it difficult for transgressors to overtake on to oncoming traffic.
