Here: i-traffic

So you can see the hateful M5 (this will look particularly hateful in evening rush hour):

And/or anywhere else.
There’s also a link to the dot matrix electronic message boards dotted around Cape Town’s highways.

In addition, you can register to create and save routes, meaning that you can see feeds from all the cameras along your journey route. I can hardly believe I’m saying this, but… “Well Done SANRAL”!

(Note that Gauteng’s and KZN’s cameras are also available on there)

As I’ve intimated before (here and here recently, for example) it’s somewhere that our family like to spend some time, simply because of the setting, the views and the huge range of things to do.

Friday! Maybe they’ll be knocking off a bit earlier today. Hardly worth turning up in that case.
But thankfully, everyone has turned up anyway. Let’s get the latest from our intrepid team.

Maybe he’s reading your stuff, Lucy. Is he an Android man? No. No, he’s not.

 

Eww.
