The traffic volume and the speed of the motorists on the notorious stretch of the R30-road between Allanridge and Bothaville is being controlled by a stop-and-go system. It gained notoriety for its high rate of fatal accidents in 2022 when more than 35 people died, and at least 60 were injured in accidents along this short stretch of gravel. The road is being fixed at a cost of in excess of R22 million. The repairs will also include the piece of road at the water pan opposite Nyakallong (Stinkpan). The two danger spots are a mere 5 km apart. Residents of Allanridge feared that the road at Stinkpan would collapse and that the school bus travelling to Odendaalsrus and Welkom would crash into the water. Photo: Marti Will
