Maintenance, Ownership and Law Enforcement
The roads that form National Routes may be owned and maintained by various authorities. The National Roads Agency (SANRAL) maintains and owns the portions that are proclaimed National Roads, while other sections are maintained by various provincial and local authorities. An example of this are the portions of the N1 and N2 close to Cape Town, which are maintained and owned by the City of Cape Town and Provincial Government of the Western Cape. Similarly, portions of the N3 close to Durban, are owned and maintained by the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality, and part of the N14 in Gauteng is owned and maintained by the Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport.

Famous quotes containing the words ownership and/or law:
“They had their fortunes to make, everything to gain and nothing to lose. They were schooled in and anxious for debates; forcible in argument; reckless and brilliant. For them it was but a short and natural step from swaying juries in courtroom battles over the ownership of land to swaying constituents in contests for office. For the lawyer, oratory was the escalator that could lift a political candidate to higher ground.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The most absurd apology for authority and law is that they serve to diminish crime. Aside from the fact that the State is itself the greatest criminal, breaking every written and natural law, stealing in the form of taxes, killing in the form of war and capital punishment, it has come to an absolute standstill in coping with crime. It has failed utterly to destroy or even minimize the horrible scourge of its own creation.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
