There are also other restrictions. eg: <80cc motorbikes and slow vehicles as far as I know. Road Traffic Act 29 of 1989: "freeway" means a public road or a section of a road which has been designated as a freeway by an appropriate road traffic sign. This is symbol used I believe: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:UK_motorway_symbol.svg National Roads (eg: N1, N2, etc) can have freeway sections. eg: N2 - Mossel Bay - George bypass , Port Elizabeth Bypass. Other category roads eg: M1 (Gauteng) can also be designated as freeways. There are a few Region roads (eg R21 - Gauteng) which have freeway sections.
