    No toll fee for R72 yet

    Transport Minister Ben Martins has told the National Assembly that there are no plans at present to toll the R72 coastal road between Port Elizabeth and East London.

    Transport Minister Ben Martins has told the National Assembly that there are no plans at present to toll the R72 coastal road between Port Elizabeth and East London.

    Replying to a written question in the National Assembly last week, Martins said a viability study by the South African Roads Agency found the project would not be feasible as a self-financing toll road.

    However, he added that tolling may be considered in the future, based on a “hybrid functioning model”.

    The DA in the province responded by saying that instead of financially burdening motorists, government should ensure that roads are properly maintained.

    To successfully toll a road, 4 000 vehicles should use it daily. According to research the R72 carries only 2 000 vehicles per day.
