Department spokesperson Muneera Allie said the N1 and N2 highways are flowing as holiday makers head home from their vacation destinations.

"While we are encouraged by a decline when compared to Easter 2024 for the same period, one life lost is one too many. A peak travel period is expected today as travellers return. We urge all drivers to be cautious and patient if encountering a congested area," said Allie.
