Motoriste wat beplan om vandag op die N12-hoofweg te reis, word vriendelik versoek om kennis te neem van 'n beplande padsluiting vir 'n grootskaalse veiligheidsoefening.
Die N12-hoofweg sal op Donderdag 15 Mei 2025, van 09:00 tot 14:00 gesluit wees, sowat 45 km buite Potchefstroom in die rigting van Carletonville. Die sluiting is deel van 'n veiligheidssimulasie-oefening wat in samewerking met Harmony Gold, RIMS (Road Incident Management System), SANRAL, en plaaslike owerhede uitgevoer word.
Doel van die Oefening
Hierdie oefening is 'n geplande simulasie om noodreaksieprosedures te toets en die samewerking tussen verskeie rolspelers te verbeter. Dit is veral belangrik in gebiede waar mynbedrywighede en hoofvervoerroetes saamval.
Verkeersimplikasies
Verkeer sal via alternatiewe roetes herlei word, maar verwag asseblief vertraging. Motoriste word aangeraai om:
Die betrokke gedeelte van die N12 gedurende die gespesifiseerde tyd te vermy
Ekstra reistyd toe te laat
Aanwysings en instruksies van verkeersbeamptes te volg
Gemeenskapsamewerking Waardeer
Die betrokke owerhede spreek hul dankbaarheid uit teenoor die publiek vir hul geduld en samewerking. Hierdie tipe oefening dra by tot groter paraatheid en bevorder beter samewerking tussen die private sektor, owerhede en die gemeenskap.
Motorists planning to travel on the N12 highway today should take note of a scheduled road closure for a major safety simulation.
The N12 highway will be closed on Thursday, 15 May 2025, from 09:00 to 14:00, approximately 45 km outside Potchefstroom in the direction of Carletonville. The closure is part of a collaborative safety simulation exercise involving Harmony Gold, RIMS (Road Incident Management System), SANRAL, and local emergency and traffic authorities.
Purpose of the Drill
The exercise is a planned safety simulation drill designed to test emergency response capabilities and coordination between multiple stakeholders. Such drills are critical in preparing for real-life incidents, especially in areas where mining operations and major transport routes intersect.
Traffic Implications
Traffic will be diverted via alternate routes, but delays are anticipated. Motorists are strongly encouraged to:
Avoid the N12 near the affected area during the closure window
Allow extra travel time
Follow detour signs and instructions from traffic officials
Community Support Appreciated
Authorities extend their thanks to the public for their patience and cooperation. These drills not only enhance safety readiness but also build stronger partnerships between the private sector, government, and the community.
