Drivers from around the country will have to pay to use e-tolled roads in Gauteng, Sanral said on Friday (17 October).<\/p>\n
SA National Roads Agency Ltd (Sanral) spokesman Vusi Mona said motorists visiting Gauteng could pay within seven days without registering an e-toll account, or register an account, or purchase a day pass.<\/p>\n
“If a road-user does not want to register an e-toll account or purchase a day pass, the e-toll fees may be paid at an e-toll customer service centre by calling the e-toll call centre… or online,” he said.<\/p>\n
“In this case it will be required that the road user provide his vehicle licence plate number.”<\/p>\n
The “occasional road user” could buy the day pass from Sanral’s website by calling it or visiting a service centre.<\/p>\n
“Please note that a day pass cannot be obtained from a retailer,” Mona said.<\/p>\n
It was reported on Friday that motorists could buy the day pass from retailers like Shoprite, Pick n Pay, or Spar.<\/p>\n
For motorcycle riders a day pass would cost R30, for car drivers R50, small heavy vehicles R125, and large heavy vehicles R250.<\/p>\n
The Opposition to Urban Tolling Alliance (Outa) said on Friday it would not appeal the Supreme Court of Appeal’s (SCA) dismissal of its challenge to e-tolls because it could not afford it.<\/p>\n
The SCA dismissed Outa’s challenge against e-tolls on October 9.<\/p>\n
