The Eastern Cape is expecting high volumes of traffic on its main roads as at the peak of the festive season continues.
Holidaymakers are making their way to different destinations, resulting to congestion on the roads.
So far, seven people have died on the Eastern Cape roads, with six of them involved in a horrific car crash that left the bodies burnt beyond recognition.
The Eastern Cape Department of Transport continues to monitor traffic across the province, especially on high-risk areas.
Department spokesperson, Unathi Binqose says, “The volume of traffic in the Eastern Cape continues to be very high, particularly in those towns like Komani, the R61 from the Western Cape and the N6 from Northern Province. We are seeing a lot of traffic in those small towns there’s a lot of congestion as well. Particularly those taking people from CBDs but in terms of accidents we are grateful that we haven’t seen many accidents.”
