Vehicles and driving in Pretoria

Pretoria, the administrative capital, runs a large number of government and diplomatic vehicles alongside its daily commuter traffic on the N1, N4 and N14. Rosslyn in the north is an established automotive manufacturing and component area, and industrial suburbs such as Silverton, Pretoria West and Waltloo host workshops, depots and truck yards. Winters are dry and frosty, so weak batteries tend to fail on the first cold mornings, while summer storms bring heavy rain and lightning. Many residents commute from Mamelodi, Soshanguve and Atteridgeville by minibus taxi, and security-conscious households often fit alarms, central locking and tracking units.
