Cape Town - The implementation of e-tolls on Gauteng highways, which takes effect on Tuesday, is expected to run smoothly, said the SA National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral) spokesperson Vusi Mona in an interview on Focus on Sunday.
Mona said on the Afrikaans current affairs show on SABC2 that Sanral is ready from an IT perspective for the implementation of e-tolls and has had several dry runs over the last 18 months.
He also urged motorists to comply with the rules of the road.
"You will need to comply with the signage you see on the roads."
He said road users can't choose which rules they want to comply with and which they will defy.
Motorists will have to bear the costs if Sanral have to pursue them for non-compliance, Mona said.
"We do have data of the motorists in this country," he said, adding that Sanral will remind them to pay their accounts.
At least 21 000 motorists have bought their e-tags and Sanral said at least 735 000 tags had been sold.
Tolling was supposed to begin in April 2011, but at least three proposed start dates have failed to materialise.
Tariffs have also been cut thrice since legal battles about the issue started.
The controversial electronic tolling system of highways has been met with tough resistance, including from ANC alliance partner Cosatu, civic groups and religious organisations.
