Highway marker signs in South Africa are important geographic indicators that pinpoint your location in case of emergencies, potentially saving lives. During the festive season, when many South Africans travel, understanding the language of these signs is crucial to prevent mishaps. The signs are simple with the road name, segment, distance, and direction, and are strategically placed every 200 meters on national highways. It’s important to know the main operators and assistance contacts for designated routes, and to appreciate these silent guardians of our roads for safe travel.
