The last plaza, near Pinetown. Queues build before long weekends.
The N3 skirts the city with exits close together. Stay in the through lanes.
Long, steep descent into Pietermaritzburg. Slow trucks, and often misty in the morning.
Mainline plaza near Mooi River.
Mainline plaza near Ladysmith.
Thick mist is common on the pass. Snow can close it on cold winter days.
Steep, winding pass into KwaZulu-Natal and a major truck route. Expect slow trucks and breakdowns.
The N5 ends at an interchange with the N3. Join the N3 towards Durban.
Plenty of fuel and food; a good break before the N3.

On the N1 near Brandfort, before you turn off at Winburg.
Passengers only, or once you've stopped. Never while driving.
A tap posts the hazard and road. To add the lane, how bad it is or a tip, use "Add a detailed report" further down.
Your location is only used when you tap a button that asks for it. Reports show it rounded to about 100 m, never your exact spot. You can always type the road instead.
