TRL3702
ASSIGNMENT 2
SEMESTER 2
2023

, Introduction


The development and maintenance of road infrastructure are pivotal components of any
nation's economic growth and social well-being. In South Africa, a country known for its vast
and diverse landscapes, the provision of effective road networks is not only essential for
facilitating transportation but also for bridging geographical divides, fostering economic
development, and enhancing the overall quality of life for its citizens. However, the critical
question of how to fund these road projects, whether tolled or non-tolled, has been a subject
of ongoing debate, scrutiny, and policy evolution.
This assignment explores various factors of road infrastructure funding in South Africa,
examining the strategies employed at national, provincial, and local levels, as well as the role
of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in this context. Additionally, it explores the challenges
associated with toll roads, including public resistance, and the imperative of ensuring the
sustainability of rural roads, which are often lifelines for remote communities. Through a
comprehensive analysis, we aim to shed light on the viability, effectiveness, and socio-
economic implications of the funding methods employed, as well as the prospects for future
development in South Africa's road infrastructure landscape.

Q1

How is non-tolled road funding being done in South Africa? Is this a viable method?

Non-tolled road funding in South Africa is primarily through government grants. The Road
Fund, which is a special fund that is generated from fuel taxes and other road-related levies,
is used to provide grants to the national, provincial, and local governments for the
construction and maintenance of non-tolled roads.
