BRITS POS – BRITS – Bakwena is responsible for managing and maintaining a safe and reliable road infrastructure along the N1 and N4 highway routes within the Limpopo, Gauteng and North West provinces, with increased efforts over the Easter to ensure greater road monitoring presence to promote driver vigilance.
Road safety is one of Bakwena’s key pillars and with the Easter holiday season on our door step, Bakwena has implemented various additional measures including partnering with various authorities to ensure the safety of motorists travelling the route.
Bakwena would like to assure motorists that crucial roadworks will be suspended during this period. According to Vusi Mona, SANRAL’s General Manager for Communications and Marketing, road safety is one of SANRAL’s core pillars that underpin its operations and increasingly, they prioritise the use of technology and innovation to improve road safety.
