Another incident occurred on the R39 stop-and-go point between Standerton and Ermelo on 17 February.
A vehicle travelling towards Standerton got stuck in the mud on the detours on the side of the road.
According to Dreykon Klus Civils, they will send out a grader to work on the detours.

According to a motorist, operators at the control points also opened the traffic both ways which caused confusion and fortunately did not end up in an accident happening.
