Among the most dangerous stretches is the N1 between Mokopane and Polokwane, ranked as the third most dangerous road in the country.
Limpopo is home to four of South Africa’s 10 most dangerous roads, according to a study presented at a public-private partnership conference hosted at the Park Inn on Friday.
Transport departmental head Steve Matjena said the R81 received a one-star safety rating due to frequent pedestrian and vehicle fatalities, while the R522 and R525 also recorded significant crash statistics. The South African National Taxi Council urged its members to comply with road rules by avoiding speeding and overloading vehicles.
