Stop road tolls in South Africa
Petition published by Jones Maboe on Dec 02, 2011

Target: FF Plus
Region: South Africa
Petition Background (Preamble):
I don't want toll to pass.
Toll roads have been criticized as being inefficient in various ways:
They require vehicles to stop or slow down, manual toll collection wastes time and raises vehicle operating costs.
Collection costs can absorb up to one-third of revenues, and revenue theft is considered to be comparatively easy.
Where the tolled roads are less congested than the parallel "free" roads, the traffic diversion resulting from the tolls increases congestion on the road system and reduces its usefulness.
By tracking the vehicle locations, their drivers are subject to an effectual restriction of their freedom of movement and freedom from excessive surveillance.
