Traffic is getting worse every year. People are leaving homes earlier every year to get their children to school on time or to work. It is very logic to calculate that if you have 2 lanes and the are reduced to 1, that the time to travel will double. Never mind the time (which will lessen productivity), pollution will increase as cars will be idling much longer, older cars could get car problems (overheat heat etc) and where will they pull off???We are supposed to be moving forward, not backwards. I think it will be very embarrassing for visitors to Pretoria to witness. It is fine to have a bus, but how often do buses not arrive? Often, as we discovered. Buses aren't frequent enough and do not cover all routes to send children to school on the bus. If you look at city buses, they are near empty. Rather wait until you have enough money to widen the road. The disadvantages at this stage are much more than the advantages.
