A zero-tolerance policy towards drunk driving and speeding will be be enforced.
|||Traffic authorities are gearing up for one of their busiest weekends of the year.
Kenny Africa, the Western Cape’s traffic chief, committed his staff to trying to reduce the number of road fatalities this weekend. Over the 2011 Easter weekend nine people died on the province’s roads, while 11 died last year – most between 6pm and 10pm.
This year, said Africa, there would be a special focus on fatigue and unbuckled back-seat passengers. A zero tolerance policy towards drunk driving and speeding would be be enforced.
There would be roadblocks every night between tonight and Sunday.
Clear, partly cloudy and moderate conditions have been forecast for the city on Friday and Saturday.
Temperatures will be in the low to mid 20s throughout the weekend. There will be showers in the interior on Saturday, and rain at the coast and in the interior on Sunday and Monday. - Cape Argus
