    Drivers warn of bypass confusion

    Regular users of the N2 between Grahamstown and Port Elizabeth have warned that poor signage and road markings make the new bypass dangerous and difficult to drive.

    Regular users of the N2 between Grahamstown and Port Elizabeth have warned that poor signage and road markings make the new bypass dangerous and difficult to drive.

    The road was closed for two months, after a large sink hole during the September floods destroyed a section. The bypass was opened on 30 November.

    Taxi driver Thembekile Radu, who regularly does the trip between Port Elizabeth and Grahamstown, said the signs marking the bypass were not easily visible – particularly at night.

    "As someone who has been driving on the road for a bit longer it's not as difficult for me – but how about the people who only drive on the road occasionally?" he said.

    Manager for road maintenance and tolls at the South African National Roads Agency, Roland Thompson, said repairs to that section of the N2 were scheduled to be completed by the end of August.

    "The deadline is weather-dependent, however," he told Grocott's Mail on Wednesday. "It also depends on the availability of materials. We think we have enough materials to complete the work, but that's something that could hold things up."
