N3 Toll Route | Traffic Update | Potentially damaging wind speeds along parts of the N3 | 11 May 2026 @ 16:25 — Wind speeds >100km/h have been measured on Van Reenen Pass in the last hour. For the safety of all road users traffic control measures have been implemented along the Pass between Ladysmith in KwaZulu-Natal and Harrismith in the Free State.

These measures are being taken by law enforcement officials for the safety of all road users, as the changing weather, and particularly the strong winds, are placing additional strain on drivers.

“Please reduce speed, heed warnings and follow official instructions. Extra caution is required by all drivers on the N3 Toll Route tonight and tomorrow as the SA Weather Service has advised that these conditions are likely to continue into tomorrow,” stresses Thania Dhoogra, chief operating officer of N3TC.
