Motorists traveling along the N12 and into Potchefstroom should take note of recent changes to speed limits. These adjustments are part of efforts to enhance road safety and manage traffic flow effectively.
Here's a breakdown of the updated speed limits:
Heading Towards Johannesburg (N12)
From the last traffic light on the N12 near HTS in Potchefstroom, heading towards Johannesburg, the speed limit has been reduced from 100 km/h to 60 km/h.
Motorists are urged to adhere to this adjustment, particularly in the vicinity of Atlantic Oil, where the change is most noticeable.
Klerksdorp to Potchefstroom
Drivers traveling towards Potch from Klerksdorp should pay attention to the following new regulations:
At the beginning of Ikageng, the speed limit is now back to 80 km/h, a change from the previous 100 km/h.
Approaching Harry's Tyres, the speed limit drops to 60 km/h (formerly 80 km/h).
This 60 km/h limit remains in effect until past Reinke and Premier, where it used to be 80 km/h.
Stay Informed and Drive Responsibly
These changes have been implemented to prioritize the safety of all road users. Motorists are reminded to comply with the updated limits and remain vigilant for speed limit signs to avoid fines or accidents.
Community Updates
Ward Councillor André Klopper (Ward 7) confirmed the updates and urges residents to share this information widely to ensure compliance and safer roads for everyone.
Stay safe, and remember: speed limits save lives.
