Joburg residents are in for more traffic woes after Johannesburg Roads Agency announced the second M1 rehabilitation phase to commence at the end of the month.

Doesnt look like it will interfere with my commute too much. I usually hit the M1 N at the doubledecker around 05:45Am.

Yeah i pass it around 6 and its smooth, then on the way home i pass it at 3ish. Guess i chose those working hours for a reason.

I'm hoping the same - I'm normally on that section at 6 or just thereafter.

If it does get bad I'll take the slightly longer route to work via the N12/N1.

I get off at Karr Str, so wont be too bad.

I get off @ Empire - not too much further down the drag.

I'm glad they've decided to keep all lanes open during the rush hour periods.

Aah.. The joys I living in a town where everything is within 25 minutes...

I just hope this won't add to the gridlock in the cbd.
Even though it is open during peak hours, town somehow always finds a way of becoming congested

All you need is one idiot that is too busy looking at all the pretty roadworks, to mess up everyone's day.

Read the announcement again. They will suspend work during peak hours not open all lanes

Same. Thank goodness I have no reason to go anywhere near the north...

 

[Ockie]

I get on and off @ Glenhove on and off ramps. This wont effect me then right?

Yeah, we have the Mall of the South now, Dude, we don't have to go anywhere near that stinky North ever again! ....
