TOLL tariffs on national roads will be adjusted on March 7.
For the second consecutive year, the toll tariffs on the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project (GFIP) which came into operation in December 2013 will not be adjusted.
The Minister of Transport approved the tariffs proposed by the South African National Roads Agency SOC Ltd (SANRAL) for 2015/16 in February 2015, following which they were gazetted.
Adjustments occur annually and are are based on the preceding twelve months’ CPI. The average CPI adjustment for SANRAL managed toll tariffs is 6.017 percent.
There will be adjustments on the N3 toll road between Johannesburg and Durban and on the N4 highway between the Mozambican border and the Botswana border, as well as on the toll road sections of the N1, N2, N17 and R30.
“We use the inflation rate as a guide, as we do not want to increase road usage costs beyond what is reasonable,” explained Nazir Alli, CEO of SANRAL.
For local road users, the new toll fees will be as follows:
Izotsha Ramp – Class 1 R7.50; Class 2 R13; Class 3 R18; Class 4 R32.
Oribi Mainline – Class 1 R24; Class 2 R43; Class 3 R59; Class 4 R96.
Oribi Ramp (S) – Class 1 R11; Class 2 R20; Class 3 R27; Class 4 R43.
Oribi Ramp (N) – Class 1 R13; Class 2 R23; Class 3 R32; Class 4 R59.
Umtentweni Ramp – Class 1 R10; Class 2 R18; Class 3 R25; Class 4 R41.
