Future upgrades, new developments and freeway links under the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project (GFIP) are being threatened by the public’s non-compliance with the e-tolling system, Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) CEO Coenie Vermaak says. Should the development of the second and third phase of the project not kick off “desperately” soon, Gauteng’s road network will be in a similar position to what is was about ten years ago, with freeway congestion expected to slow vehicles to less than 30 km/h.
