4. Public <strong>Transport</strong><br />

The prioritisation of public transport over the private motorist<br />

highlights the need for certain roads projects to provide<br />

additional capacity for public transport or enable some form of<br />

priority movement of public transport.<br />

5. Capacity<br />

Within the context of managing demand for road space through<br />

various strategies including promoting public over private<br />

transport, there is need for a number of road projects to address<br />

current and pending capacity issues that negatively impact on<br />

the effective and efficient functioning of the City.<br />

initiatives including key city projects, such as the new airport<br />

and associated trade-port.<br />

6.2 Roads Policy<br />

The following focuses on two key aspects of road policy which relate to<br />

provincial and national roads in the eThekwini Municipality. At this stage<br />

there is no need for additional policy on roads<br />

6.2.1 Toll Roads<br />

The planned introduction of additional toll points on national roads within<br />

the Municipal Area is an issue for the eThekwini Council.<br />

Currently there are two tolls in the eThekwini<br />

Municipal area, one at Mariannhill on the N3 and<br />

the other at Tongaat on the N2.<br />

Two additional toll points are being considered,<br />

namely in the south at Prospecton on the N2 and<br />

to the west at Key Ridge on the N3.<br />
