SANRAL withdraws E-toll regulations

by LOUISE FLANAGAN

ANOTHER set of e-toll regulations has been withdrawn.

The regulation notice on how e-tolls were to be paid for by the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project was withdrawn this week with immediate effect by the SA National Roads Agency Ltd (Sanral).

“The notice made known the place at which tolls were payable… and the conditions relating to the payments of tolls,” said the withdrawal notice.

The original notice, number 320, was issued on April 18. That notice set out where and when payments for tolls must be made. It also listed the e-toll customer centres where payments could be made.

This is the second withdrawal of regulations by Sanral since the suspension of tolling on the project.

On May 31, Minister of Transport Sibusiso Ndebele withdrew the notice on tariffs for the project’s tolls, which had been issued less than two months earlier.

That notice set out the toll tariffs for 49 e-toll points and discounts, and defined five categories of the project’s toll road users depending on whether they were registered with Sanral and had e-tags or not.

Minister of Finance Pravin Gordhan indicated in papers to the Constitutional Court recently that the tariffs would be withdrawn and new tariffs issued.
