KwaZulu-Natal Transport authorities are on high alert as traffic volumes begin to increase on the provinces roads ahead of New Years Eve.
Authorities have issued a stern warning to motorists to respect traffic laws during this period, or risk spending the new year behind bars. They say drinking and driving and speeding remain their main concern as they prepare for a busy week on the roads.
KwaZulu-Natals roads are starting to get busy as the province gears up for New Years Eve celebrations. Traffic started to increase early on the N3 on Monday, with more than a thousand vehicles an hour recorded entering and leaving Durban at the Marianhill Toll Plaza, at midday.
