You obviously have not driven in JHB lately; I've also been travelling to CT from Stellenbosch quite a bit this week' date=' and while the traffic was a bit slow on the N2, at least it was mostly moving; there was a congestion close to the M3 junction, but that's only like 1 km of frustration? My last trip to JHB (that was in August) made me realise that we have no real conception of rush hour traffic down here in the Cape I quite honestly don't know how people can do that every day! [/quote'] Read somewhere ( I tried to find it, but can't) that Gauteng has grown from 4.5 Million to over 10.5 Million people in 5 years!! How correct this information is I am not sure, but judging from the traffic & land development, I can believe it. What's sad is that with all the new housing going up at an enormous pace, Churches and most importantly Police Stations, Schools & Varsties and not growing to handle this new demand!! Dont forget neglecting road, water, and electricity infrastructure. Most of the housing is in the form of towhouses and clusters. Municiplaity is rubbing stamping new development as its additional revenue in their pockets.
