SA toll calculator

[TheOracle]

I built a free SA toll calculator: https://southafricafacts.co.za/toll-fees-calculator-south-africa/

I would appreciate some feedback.

Two things that bugged me about other calculators:

1. They just give you the toll total for a full route. This one lets you pick entry and exit points on a corridor, so if you're only driving Pretoria to Bela-Bela you get the right number, not the Joburg to Polokwane figure.
2. None of them tell you about alternatives. This one tells you when there's a genuine toll-free parallel road (R101 on the N1 North, R104 on the N4, R102 on the KZN north coast, etc.), what it costs in extra time, and when there honestly isn't one. Add your fuel cost and it'll also tell you whether the detour actually saves money

Awesome thanks.
Will give it a bash a little later.

Problem with alternative routes is the roads are generally poor, some shockingly so
Road agency probably neglects them deliberately to force users on to toll routes.

Seems to work great

This is actually such a kwaai tool! Would you be able to add Cape Town to Durban too?

My first version of the calculator only included the mainline plazas. I have now added all the on and off ramps, allowing you to make more detailed trip calculations.
