there is an ad on the radio from the douche bags that we should have a 3 second following distance.
by my maths that is 1200 cars per hour (1 car every 3 seconds = 20 cars per minute = 1200 cars per hour)
on their glorious document justifying the upgrades they claim that between allandale and buccleuch the volumes were 13000 per hour in peak traffic (https://www.sanews.gov.za/south-africa/sanral-welcomes-passing-transport-amendment-bill). for 5 lanes of smooth flowing traffic there will be 2600 cars per hour.  ??? the following distance is then 1.4 seconds.

please check my maths because it was enhanced by red wine.
