have ranked Pretoria as the worst South African city for rush-hour commuting, surpassing Cape Town, which has slipped into second place.According to TomTom, commuters in Pretoria spend an average of 16 minutes to travel 10km at a speed of 32kph. This is the equivalent of 145 hours spent in rush hour per year, which is 40 seconds longer than what the same journey would’ve taken in 2021.
TomTom’s study also revealed that Johannesburg’s traffic is slow to bounce back from the COVID-19 pandemic, likely as a result of lingering work-from-home policies. The city has historically been Cape Town’s largest traffic competitor as per the index, though the 2022 index placed it in fifth place nationally, behind East London and Bloemfontein.
Durban has been highlighted as the city with the lowest congestion levels in the country . Commuters spend about 12 minutes and 20 seconds to cover 10km and spend 112 hours in traffic per year.
