Toll plazas and tariffs
Every national and concession toll plaza with location and tariffs by vehicle class, with history.
01
What it holds
How far it reaches
598 plaza tariffs: every toll plaza on the national toll roads, mainline and ramp (59 plazas and 75 points in 2026/27): SANRAL's ten toll roads (Huguenot, Vaal River, Great North, Tsitsikamma, South Coast, North Coast, Mariannhill, Magalies, N17, R30/R730/R34) and the Platinum (Bakwena), N3 Cedara to Heidelberg (N3TC) and N4 east (TRAC) concessions, with classes 1 to 4 including VAT and the year before beside each, for 2018/19, 2019/20 and 2021/22 to 2026/27. Positions and provinces from OpenStreetMap for 58 plazas (since 13 Nov 2026 Cullinan, Valtaki and Ekandustria from the unnamed booths on their signed ramps; K99 has none). Gauteng's e-toll gantries are not plazas and are left out: their toll declarations were withdrawn from 11 April 2024 at 23:59:59 (Notice 4587). Next: the 2020/21 notices and years before 2018 if a library holds them; the local user, public transport and frequent user tariffs the same notices publish.
How often it changes
Annual
The Minister determines new toll tariffs each year; the notices appear in the Government Gazette in early February and take effect on 1 March (2018: gazetted 28 March, effective 12 April). Check GPW's eGazettes from the first week of February.
