The southern traffic jams on the main routes are nothing new and are exceptionally bad near the park entrance gates in the mornings due to the influx of day visitors, so after a few major jams, people out their cars, shouting and screaming, etc, we decided to stick mainly to the less driven narrow dirt roads.
The dirt roads come with their own frustrations for me personally, so I was wondering on member’s road etiquette in the south and what people feel about it.
I will never block the road and if I do, I will move as soon as I see another car arriving, or ask them if they mind waiting 1 minute just so that I can get a pic.
If I want to drive at 20km/h on a narrow dirt road and a car arrives behind me doing 40km/h; I will pull over so that they can pass, but if I want to do 40km/h; I expect them to pull over.
Etc
And as for those crazy 3/4 cars abreast traffic jams. Why don’t SANParks control those types of sightings in the south if they insist on letting hundreds of day visitors in.
I’m not sure if many are just clueless, arrogant or if they just don’t have manners, but driving in the south of Kruger is no longer fun for me, so I was wondering how you guys handle it.
