TOLL COSTS: The new tolling system implemented on the ‘ring road’ highways (N1, N3 and N12) around Johannesburg will be charging light vehicle motorists 40 cents per kilometre. Government has yet to announce the date when the e-tolling system will begin but this price means that students travelling from the outskirts of the city will have to add the following amounts* to their normal petrol/vehicle costs for a return trip between home and Wits.
