2014 toll tariff adjustments

Toll tariffs on national roads will be adjusted in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on 24 May 2014. The toll tariffs on the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project (GFIP) that came into operation in December 2013 will not be adjusted this time.

The Minister of Transport approved the tariffs proposed by the South African National Roads Agency SOC Ltd (Sanral) for 2014/15 in early May 2014 and the adjustments were gazetted today, 9 May 2014.

Adjustments occur annually. The adjustments become effective on 24 May this year.

Any adjustments to the tariffs are based on the preceding twelve months CPI. The average CPI adjustment for Sanral toll tariffs is 5.8%.

There will be adjustments on the N3 toll road between Johannesburg and Durban and on the N4 highway between the Mozambican border and the Botswana border, as well as on the toll road sections of the N1, N2, N17 and R30.

There will be no increase on the Swartruggens toll plaza.

"We use the inflation rate as a guide, as we at the national roads agency do not want to increase road usage costs beyond what is reasonable," explained Vusi Mona, communications manager at Sanral.

"E-toll tariffs in Gauteng became effective in the beginning of December 2013 and therefore the first annual adjustment may only be in March 2015," Mona explains.
