Abstract
This paper presents results and findings of the traffic congestion study conducted in Vhembe
District. The purpose of the traffic congestion study was to assess and profile the existing
traffic congestion landscape in the District with a view to identifying high, medium and low
congestion areas in the Municipality. The results provide a portrait of congestion complete
with a description of required infrastructure and services, which implemented will contribute
significantly to a reduction in congestion. The findings highlight the major traffic congestion
areas including presenting a platform of measures and actions that the Municipality can adopt
in tackling congestion issues differently in the study area.
