Local Speed Limits and Speeding Fines

BOOK A VEHICLE

The speed limit in South Africa is approximately 60 kilometers (37 mph) inside the city and residential areas, 80 kilometers (50 mph) on small Highway and open roads and 100-120 kilometers (62 to 75 mph) on the major Highways throughout South Africa.

This is just a guide as you should be aware of the speed limit from the signs positioned on the road you are traveling on. The speed limit varies so be aware. The speed limit is monitored at various undisclosed areas with laser technology, while in other areas, cameras monitor speed.

Motorists caught on camera while speeding are sent a notice of the alleged offence. Once a person has committed an offence, the car and its registration number are downloaded into Natas(National Traffic Information System).

The renter is liable for paying fines for the period of the rental.

Please note: Administrative fee for handling of traffic fines is R 195.00 over and above the fine.
