Motorists across Gauteng have been urged to exercise caution after persistent rainfall left many roads wet and slippery, increasing the risk of crashes.
Spokesperson for Gauteng Provincial Traffic Police, Sello Maremane, said traffic officers are monitoring conditions and remain on standby to respond to any weather-related incidents.
Maintain safe following distance
“Motorists are advised to maintain a safe following distance. It is also important to drive within the prescribed speed limit,” Maremane said.
According to the SABC, he also warned pedestrians to be cautious, particularly near low-lying bridges and areas prone to flooding.
“Pedestrians are urged to avoid crossing low-lying bridges as this may be dangerous,” he said.
Authorities said continued rainfall across parts of the province could worsen driving conditions, urging road users to remain alert and prioritise safety while travelling.
