TRAFFIC CONGESTION: WHERE DOES SOUTH AFRICA RATE IN THE WORLD?
While traffic is a bane of existence for many motorists in South Africa, it is far less than what others around the world experience.
Cape Town – the most congested city in South Africa – has a 41% congestion ranking, with motorists spending up to 77 hours a year in traffic, according to a TomTom report.
This is a far cry from cities like Mexico City, Dublin and Bengaluru in India, which all exceed a 70% congestion – spending almost 200 hours , more than a week, in traffic each year!
