Hermanus traffic services, situated on the corner of Short and Mussel Street, will now be open Mondays to Fridays from 08:00 – 18:00 and every Saturday during June and July from 08:00 – 13:00. The traffic offices in Kleinmond and Gansbaai will be open Mondays to Fridays from 08:00 – 15:30, with a lunch break between 13:00 – 13:45.

The department will work at a 50% staff capacity. Adherence to access control and limited numbers inside the traffic offices will be strictly enforced. Safety measures and protocols governing the observation of social distancing, sanitisation and the wearing of masks will be observed.
