Pretoria: As the Easter Holiday period gets into full swing, the Cross-Border Road Transport Agency (C-BRTA) urges cross-border road transport operators to remain alert while transporting passengers and goods across the borders to various parts of the continent.

According to South African Government News Agency, the agency has heightened the deployment of its law enforcement unit, the Road Transport Inspectorate (RTI), to major corridors that lead to border posts linking South Africa with neighboring countries. “It is our collective responsibility as law enforcement authorities, motorists, and general road users to ensure accident-free roads during the Easter period and beyond. It is for this reason that we have deployed our RTI and heightened our law enforcement operations and related activities on all major routes in the country to ensure compliance,” said CEO of the C-BRTA, Lwazi Mboyi.

This heightened deployment is intended to match the expected high traffic volumes of freight and passenger vehicles and to ensure compliance with relevant road rules. At the launch of the 2026 Easter Season Road Safety Campaign in March, Transport Minister Barbara Creecy called on the C-BRTA to increase its law enforcement activities and for the RTI to boost its visibility along all major corridors that lead to border posts.

The Cross-Border Road Transport Agency (C-BRTA) facilitates the unimpeded flow of freight and passenger cross-border movements and plays a critical role in the implementation of cross-border road transport agreements and issuing of cross-border operator permits.
