N2 closure

[HeftyCrab]

So it took me 2 hours to get from CT to Somerset West yesterday, because the N2 was closed at spine road. Had to take a dodgy detour.

Anyone know what happened.

Thanks schumi for the article. Here I am in Germany where we cruise at 160 on the highway (general traffic flow) because there are no idiots that run across highways lol.

I bet you it was jay walking.

Shame, condolences for the loved ones left behind.

Wish SA could have decent speed limits instead of crying old mother grundies who moan even at the mention of 140km/h.

We would also require driver training on par with germany, vehicles that are roadworthy & properly maintained roads. So not gonna happen I'm afraid

People can't drive properly at 60km/h. Imagine at 160km/h.

I'll second this. A trip into Sandton this morning I encountered 1 idiot who drove through a red light, 3 changing lanes or turning without indicating, a biker riding way too fast dressed in black gear and no front headlight. I eventually gave up recording and counting the blithering imbeciles... and it was relatively quiet today.

I also whis people understood physics and the severe forces involved as higher speeds... the speed limits are decent enough.

I passed through there 20 minutes earlier ...

Heard on Cape Talk that a car on the incoming side lost control and crashed into cars on the outgoing side.

Must have been horrendous.
