Keep me postedAbout this page
- Where does the traffic information come from?
- From SANRAL's i-TRAFFIC, the traffic management centres on the national routes in Gauteng, the Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape, shown with SANRAL's permission and read every few minutes through Roadscore. Veld fires come from NASA's FIRMS satellite detections.
- Does it cover every road in South Africa?
- No. It covers the national routes SANRAL's traffic centres watch, around Johannesburg and Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and Pietermaritzburg, and Gqeberha and East London. Municipal roads and the rest of the country are not covered yet, and the pages say so instead of showing an empty list as a quiet road.
- Are the veld fires confirmed?
- No. They are hot spots a satellite detected in the last day. Many are controlled burns or fires far from any road. Check local news and your municipality before you travel near one.
Traffic data: SANRAL i-TRAFFIC (i-traffic.co.za), shown with SANRAL's permission, read 13 November 2026. Veld fires: NASA FIRMS (Fire Information for Resource Management System), satellite detections, not confirmed on the ground.
