Paying toll fees on the Trans African Concessions (TRAC) N4 Route has become easier and more convenient with the introduction of express lanes at Nkomazi Plaza near Mbombela. Express lanes are situated on the extreme left of the plaza (in each direction). The tag is read, and road users must drive below 40km/h. It functions as a ‘pre-clearing’ zone to determine if the vehicle has a tag, if the tag is functional, and if it has sufficient funds. Although the express lanes enable road users to pay their toll fee while in motion, everyone using these lanes is advised to keep a safe following distance from the vehicle in front of them.
