The tragedy with our roads system is this; just one freak accident on any one of the circles and the city comes to a near complete halt. It can take a full hour, perhaps even more, just to move between the Bull and Bush flyover to the BTV circle. In the process less patient drivers get anxious, leading to an even higher risk of accidents. If somehow you make it to the BTV circle, and you are heading on in the direction of Mogoditshane, you will likely have a good run but only until Pula Spar. And then it will be another thirty minutes before you join Molepolole road because there are one hundred and twenty four way stops along that small stretch of road and every driver must find their space. Only the guys in ambulances, the police and BDF guys are spared. They just blow up the sirens and flash the lights sending us all into even more distress. And then they smile all the way to their emergencies or girlfriends, whichever one would be applicable.
It cannot be healthy for the economy. I wonder why it is taking so long for the circles to be removed completely and replaced with proper road traffic solution. Sadly, instead of removing the useless circles, the Council has handed same over to the Prisons people to decorate with weird horses and pigmy moulds in father Christmas outfits.
