How South Africa's road network compares to the world
- South Africa has the 10th Longest Total (750 000 Road Length) and 18th Longest Paved Road Network in the World
- Roads represent one of the largest public infrastructure investments in the most countries
- South African Road Replacement Cost is R2 Trillion
Through the S'hamba Sonke Programme
- 1100 km's of surafced road were rehabilitated
- 3000 km's of surfaced roads sealed
- 3926 km's of roads gravelled
- We patched more than 1.4 million squares metres of potholes
- 147 00 km's of roads bladed and
- 30 billion rand to create over 23 500 fulltime equivalent jobs in the 2014/15 financial year spent
- There are over 6 million more vehicles on our roads today than they were in 1994. The traffic looks set to continue growing - much of it on roads that are already operating at close to capacity during busy periods
Roads Service offerings
- Regulate road traffic management
- Ensure the maintenance and development of an integrated road network through the development of standards and guidelines and oversight of the road agencies and provincial road expenditure
