Our Story

Traffic Alerts SA started as a simple question: why do we only hear about major crashes, protests and road closures when we are already in the queue?

Backed by SA Trucker and built from real experience on South African roads, this platform gives all road users a single place to see and share what is happening in real time.

We believe that by working together as a community, we can make South African roads safer and more predictable for everyone.
