GEORGE NEWS - Concurrent road works that recently started in CJ Langenhoven and York streets, two main entrance routes to George, are having a significant knock-on effect on traffic flow during peak hours.
There has been an outcry on social media from people travelling to and from work and parents dropping off their children at school.
Secondary routes such as Plattner Blvd, Union Street, Witfontein Road (from Blanco into town), and Davidson Road have always carried bumper-to-bumper traffic during peak hours, but the situation is now worse.
In the CBD, work in Market Street has been ongoing for over a year, also affecting flow on surrounding routes and traffic to and from the schools in the town centre.
