The Western Cape Mobility Department has issued an urgent safety alert for motorists and pedestrians as the province prepares for significant rainfall and adverse weather conditions over the coming days, Cape town Etc reports.
In a statement released early Monday morning, spokesperson Muneera Allie emphasised the dangers posed by wet roads and reduced visibility, urging road users to exercise extreme caution.
Roads are slippery, visibility is reduced, and stopping distances are longer, Allie cautioned. Drivers must reduce speed, increase following distances, and ensure their vehicles are in a safe condition.
