The Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project (GFIP), an initiative of the South African National Roads Agency Limited (SANRAL) will inject approximately €2,6 billion into the South African economy and approximately €1,2 billion into the provisional gross geographic product, creating nearly 30 000 direct jobs over its lifecycle. Unfortunately, provision of road infrastructure has not kept up with the increased traffic demand, resulting in a road and freeway network that is over capacity.
As a result, development in housing, offices, retail and industrial properties has grown significantly over the past 10 years, resulting in above average traffic growth. The Province of Gauteng, the economic heartland of South Africa, generates nearly 38 % of the total value of South Africa’s economic activities. Open-road tolling on the freeway system.Three inter-related developments would assist South Africa to move closer towards the “networked car”. The absence of such legacy systems means that South Africa can “leapfrog” to state of the art technology when implementing new infrastructure. New World Economies typically have transport priorities somewhat different from industrialized nations with established infrastructure that often have legacy systems in place. While “the fully networked car” is closer to becoming reality in some countries, this “holy grail” is still some way off in countries such as South Africa with its “new world economy” which typically experience challenges such as fast urbanization, growing populations and a need to expand its transport infrastructure.
