INTRODUCTION TO THE DEPARTMENT OF ROADS AND TRANSPORT’ POLICY
ON WAYLEAVES
The MEC for Roads and Transport is given responsibility for roads reserves
proclaimed in terms of The Gauteng Infrastructure Amendment Act (No. 6 Of 2003).
The Act states in Section 52 the general prohibitions provided for. This legislation
states in Part 4: Section 38 to 49 the activities that not permitted within or near road
reserves.
However, in respect to this piece of legislation, the MEC is given authority to permit
these prohibited actions under certain conditions. He or his delegate may determine
the exact parameters of these conditions from time to time. A way leave may be
defined as such a permission granted in terms of these conditions. In order for
service holders to apply for and to be granted such a permission or way leave, there
is a need for the Department of Roads and Transport (Gautrans) to describe these
conditions in writing. Accordingly, some of these conditions are set out in terms of
this code of procedures and departmental policy document on way leaves.
2.
POLICY ON WAYLEAVES
2.1
Background to Policy Decisions
There are various ways in which a government institution can oversee a particular
responsibility that is entrusted to it. Legislation may be passed by Parliament, which
specifically sets out the powers, functions and responsibilities of a Minister. If this is
the case then the specific responsibilities and the rules by which a particular matter is
to be governed will be included in the legislation. Another way in which to deal with
governmental responsibilities is to allow the relevant Minister to decide on detailed
regulations as to how to govern a matter. In such a case the parliamentary legislation
will then authorise the Minister to decide on specific matters as they arise and to
control such matters by placing regulations in the Government Gazette. The type of
matters that require regulations will often involve areas where, for instance, a penalty
will be imposed due to the infringement of the regulation. In terms of the law it is
vitally important that the general public are made aware of the possible
repercussions of such an infringement. A third way in which a governmental
responsibility may be overseen is to give a Minister (and his Department) the
responsibility to determine various policies in regard to a specific area. Gauteng has
utilised this method of governing in regard to wayleaves. In this regard, although
encroachment upon the provincial road reserve is prohibited, the MEC has been
given the authority to allow an encroachment on a road reserve on the basis of
conditions that he may decide on. The policy on wayleaves sets out with a degree of
2
certainty the conditions upon which an applicant may request permission to encroach
upon the road reserve.
To conclude this section, it is necessary to define what a policy actually is. A useful
definition may be found in the Webster’s Dictionary where it defines a policy as ”a
course of action to guide decisions”. Therefore, a policy is a predetermined plan or
framework that assists to guide decisions that are to be made at a later stage. A
policy should then give consistency and certainty to those decisions wherever
possible.
2.2
Legislation Empowering the Department of Roads and Transport (Gautrans) to
determine Wayleave Policy
There is presently one act that sets out the basis for Gautrans developing and
enforcing a
policy on wayleaves. This piece of legislation is Gauteng Transport
Infrastructure Act (act 8 of 2001) ( GTIA)
The act aims to control the road reserves as well as the construction, maintenance,
declaration, etc. of the provincial road network. Section 52(1) of the Act, states that,
“no person shall, unless authorised in terms of this Act (a) encroach on any public
road by erecting or making any building, structure, fence, furrow, channel, ditch,
motor grid or other obstacle or by laying a pipe line, wire or cable on, over or under
such road…”. This section contains an emphatic prohibition which can only be
contravened if an authorisation has been issued. Authorisations may be issued in
terms of any suitable law but in respect to the matter under discussion, only
authorisations in terms this Act will be examined.
Section 52(4) of the Act then deals with an authorisation. It states that: “The MEC
may authorise the doing of an Act prohibited in Subsection (1) in writing, subject to
the conditions, for the period and on payment of fees or rentals that the MEC
prescribes, if the MEC is satisfied that no damage to the provincial road, railway line
or other transport infrastructure or prejudice to the public can result therefrom”. This
section then provides the basis upon which the M.E.C may grant permissions for the
prohibited activities to legally occur within the road reserve.
2.3
Advertising on Roads and Ribbon Development Act No. 21 of 1940
This national parliamentary Act was devolved to various provinces including Gauteng
some years ago and accordingly Gautrans has the responsibility to administer this
Act in this Province.
3
In this Act, section 9 states that “Subject to the provisions of section 9A no person
shall erect or permit the erection of any structure or any other thing which is attached
to the land on which it stands, …or construct or lay or permit the construction or
laying of anything under or below the surface of any land within a distance of ninetyfive metres from the centre line of a building restriction road except in accordance
with the permission in writing granted by the controlling authority concerned”.
Section 9A then goes onto state that “no person shall - …(b) construct or lay anything
beneath the surface of the land … ; (d) permit the erection of a structure on, or the
construction or laying of anything beneath the surface of the land… except in
accordance with a written permission granted by the controlling authority
concerned…”. Accordingly , these provisions allow Gautrans to control placement
any number of things be it services, structures, rail lines , etc. near provincial road
reserves and the adjacent areas. Any person wishing to carry out the prohibited
actions must apply for permission from Gautrans. Such permission will be granted in
terms of a permission, which will be issued in terms of its stated policy guidelines.
Having examined the basis for the granting of a permission by the MEC, the
conditions upon which such permissions will be granted must be determined. These
conditions or wayleaves will be discussed in detail in the following section of the
report.
2.4
Rand Water
Under the Provincial Ordinance as well as the Act on Advertising on Roads and
Ribbon Development (Act No. 21 of 1940) no binding conditions can be laid down for
Rand Water where water supply lines affect roads.
The reason for this is the
statutory powers that Rand Water possess in terms of Article 2.4(j) of the Rand
Water Statutes (private) Act 17 of 1950. In terms of the act Rand Water is defined as
a bona fide irrigation organisation.
Conditions, therefore, depend on mutual
discussions and goodwill.
In terms of the statutory power that Rand Water possesses, they will normally only
submit a notice that a service is to be installed.
However, it must be endeavoured to maintain the requirements of Gautrans
especially where new supply lines are considered parallel and directly adjacent to
important roads as well as where a proposed service clashes with already planned
roads.
In the award of a wayleave to Rand Water, general conditions as well as specific
conditions for underground pipe lines as well as special conditions must be laid down
as a guideline. Rand Water has agreed to adhere to conditions where their service is
4
placed within the existing road reserves. No binding conditions for services outside
the reserve can be laid down, but planning should be brought to their notice and they
should be requested where possible, to take the planning into account in the planning
of their service.
After Rand Water has completed the excavations, placing of pipes and sleeves and
backfill (to the satisfaction of Gautrans) the road surface is reinstated by the
Department at the cost of Rand Water.
2.5
Eskom
There is an agreement with Eskom according to which certain concessions have
been made by Gautrans in the case where power lines and power cables of Eskom
are erected over or under numbered roads subject to building restrictions in terms of
Act 21 of 1940. The conditions laid down and accepted by Eskom for wayleaves to
Eskom are summarized in the information guidelines for electrical services.
The conditions vary according to the importance of the road and the voltage of the
power line. The criterion for the importance of the road is the status thereof as well
as the number of vehicles per day on the road.
For the purpose of wayleaves to Eskom differentiation is made between the various
numbered roads, power lines and accessories.
2.6
Telkom
Prior to the Electronic Communications Act, No 36 of 2005., an agreement existed
between Gautrans and the Postmaster General in terms of which
(i)
All changes to existing telephone lines or cables that are caused by the construction
or deviation of roads or any other road construction activities shall be carried out by
and at the cost of Department of Post and Telecommunications, subject to a
maximum period of six months after written notification.
(ii)
The Department of Post and Telecommunications’ services are allowed within the
road reserve except in the case of freeways where no services are allowed with the
exception where the service crosses the road.
This agreement is, however, under review.
2.7
Department of Mineral and Energy Affairs: Borrow pits, quarries, open cast
mines, etc.
In terms of the Minerals Act (Act 50 of 1991) it is a requirement that an environment
management plan (EMP) be drawn up and approved by the Department of Mineral
and Energy Affairs, before any form of mining may commence.
5
Should such mining in any way affect a public road, road reserve building restriction
zone alongside a road, Gautrans will then become an ‘interested and affected party’
and shall be informed and consulted in respect of their involvement in the project.
Any requests, restrictions and comments by Gautrans shall be included in the EMP
report.
Should, during the course of or as a result of mining or quarrying, use be made of a
provincial road or bridge, this information, together with the effects and duration
thereof, shall also be furnished and any requests, restrictions and comments by
Gautrans shall be included in the EMP report.
All blasting that may be undertaken in the quarry or mine shall comply with the
requirements of the appropriate laws and bylaws. Where such blasting will affect the
operation of a provincial road, Gautrans shall be informed both at the planning stage
and during the operational stage.
Refer also Application Guidelines for Blasting with Explosives within 500 m of
Provincial Roads.

8.2

Freeways

Dual carriageways. Two types of dual carriageway roads are applicable:
(i)
Conventional dual carriageways
(ii)
Undivided dual carriageways
Definitions
8.2.1
Freeways
(i)
A freeway has more than one lane in each traffic direction with a median in the centre
of the two roadways.
(ii)
Access control is in such a way that access can only be obtained via one-way on and
off-ramps to and from the road.
5
(iii)
All road and rail crossings are with bridges; no level crossings are allowed on
freeways.
8.2.2
Dual carriageways
(a)
Conventional dual carriageway
This type of road also consists of more than one lane in each traffic direction
separated by a median or balustrade. Partial access control can be applied at the
same level as the main road but no level crossings for railway lines.
(b)
Undivided dual carriageway
This type of road also has two or more lanes in each traffic direction but with no
physical barrier between the two traffic directions. The two directions will only be
divided by road markings.
8.3
Other roads
(a)
Main arterial
These roads consist of one traffic lane in each direction but with a vehicle count of
more than 1 000 vehicles per day.
(b)
Minor arterial
These roads are similar to main arterial roads, but with a vehicle count of less than
1000 vehicles per day.

CONDITIONS FOR THE INSTALLATION OF TRAFFIC SIGNALS
Applications submitted for the installation of traffic signals on provincial roads will only be
considered if it can be demonstrated that accepted principles and rules have been respected
in (1) the determination of the basic need for signalling and (2) designing their arrangement,
configuration. The Department, however, would have the applicant give particular attention to
the following:

Applications for the installation of traffic lights will only be considered in terms of the
justifications and warrants given in the South African Road Traffic Signs Manual.

The type and working of the traffic lights (hardware configurations and layouts, timing
plans, etc.) must respect accepted and current local (i.e. South African) practice,
especially as that practice is defined in officially-endorsed documents (i.e. the South
African Road Traffic Signs Manual, the Road Traffic Act and the National Department of
Transport’s guideline document entitled Guidelines for the Application of Traffic Signal
Phasing and Control Equipment. The Department, however, has specifc preferences as
outlined below:
(a)
General
Special care should taken when traffic lights are being proposed in areas where the
supply of electricity to a signal installation will be complicated or costly or where
regular maintenance and/or attention cannot be guaranteed.
If the signal layout and timing plan designs are undertaken by a party other than the
local authority involved, the local authority must have endorsed such designs before
final approval application is sought.
(b)
Protected right turn phases
Protected right turn phases should only be included in signal plans where justified,
and wherever possible should be leading. Progression considerations may argue in
favour of lagging operation.
Generally speaking, protected right turn phases should not be provided where an
exclusive facility (i.e. lanes) is not provided for the right turn movement involved.
(c)
27/01/2010
Left turn movements at ramp terminals
5
Unsignalized and continuous left turn movement should be accommodated at the
level crossings of ramp terminals with filter and yield facilities unless good reasons
exist for the left turn movements to be signal controlled.
(d)
Progression
Where two or more traffic light installations exist on a road in relatively close proximity
to each other, they should where possible and justified be co-ordinated for
progressive traffic flow. The travel speed for progressive movement must be
submitted for approval.
(e)
Traffic actuated traffic lights
The benefits of traffic actuated control should be generally exploited, except in
locations where regular maintenance and/or attention cannot be guaranteed.

When possible the jacking or drilling of pipe sleeves across the reserve should be in
zones of road fill as the soil conditions are more predictable and the depth of
excavations for pits is less extensive.
(vi)
As a guideline pipes of diameter smaller than 250 mm are placed by method of
drilling and installing a 350 mm sleeve pipe. It may be considered by the designer to
install reinforced concrete lined steel pipes when pipe diameters exceed 950 mm.
These reinforced pipes to not require sleeves and shall conform to the 100D
standard. The Application Guidelines for Jacking, Drilling, Open Trench and SABS
0120 Part II should be consulted.
Buried pipelines, water and gas services parallel to the road reserve
(i)
The service may be placed inside an existing servitude for the applicable service if no
future planning is affected.
(ii)
No services may be placed inside the road reserve.
(iii)
The pipelines, water and gas services may not be placed closer than the applicable
building line.
(iv)
In exceptional circumstances with good motivation from the applicant the service may
be placed 1m inside the building line.

GENERAL GUIDELINES AND CONDITIONS TO THE DESIGNER
6.1
General conditions
i.
It is a requirement that other means of crossing a road should be investigated rather
than running services through an existing culvert. These, among others, include:
(1) Avoid crossing the road with the services.
(2) Overhead crossing by means of a new or existing bridge.
(3) Together with another service through an existing culvert.
(4) Jacking/drilling a casing under the road prism.
(5) Digging a trench through the road prism and placing the service casing in
it. Digging a trench through tar roads will only be considered if traffic
count is less than 1 000 v/d under exceptional circumstances and even
then only in cases where methods (1) to (4) above are not suitable.
Only after all the above methods have been found to be unsuitable can crossing a road
through an existing culvert be considered. Economic considerations will only apply in the
costs involved in crossing the road through one of the above methods constitute a
considerable proportion of supplying the complete service scheme.
ii.
Services crossing a gravel road are normally not permitted to run through drainage
culverts.
iii.
No service is permitted to run through a drainage culvert with a diameter of less than
600 mm or a drainage culvert with internal measurements less than 450 mm x 600
mm.
iv.
The cross-sectional area of the service casing, or if it is encased in concrete, the total
cross-sectional area of the concrete casing and the service casing through a drainage
culvert, may not be more than 1,5% of the drainage culvert’s internal cross-sectional
area.
v.
When the 1,5% mentioned in paragraph (iv) is exceeded, the applicant for the service
may submit run-off figures calculated by a professional engineer/technologist to
evaluate the risk attached to the smaller opening.
7.
GENERAL PRINCIPLES
7.1
The general principles applicable to the design of the service through the culvert are:
7.2
i.
Loose objects such as sand, gravel, stones, branches, grass, etc. brought down by
the stormwater, must not be able to snag on the service casing.
ii.
The service casing should not hamper the cleaning of the culvert and neither should it
be dangerous to the workers.
iii.
The service casing should give good protection to the service, especially where it
enters and exits the culvert.
iv.
The service should be protected against maintenance work from the road reserve
boundary up to the culvert exit/entrance.
v.
The design should be such that, should it fail, it will cause no damage to the road.
Details at the entrance and exit to the culvert
The service casing or pipe should go underground at a suitable position right next to the
culvert’s entrance and exit.
7.3
Crossing the road reserve portion at both ends of the culvert
The service must be placed in a casing which may not be in the stream bed to and from the
culvert. The depth at which the casing must be laid depends on the strength of the casing
pipe but may not be less than a metre under the surface. The weaker the casing pipe, the
deeper it should be laid below the surface.
7.4
Surface markers
The route of the underground portion of the service within the road reserve should be
indicated by surface markers.
27/01/2010
5
8.
GUIDELINES REGARDING THE TYPE OF CULVERT
i.
Crossing through a portal culvert with a height of less than or equal to 1,2 metres and all
pipe culverts (refer to paragraph iii above)
(1)
Type of casing
Only galvanised steel pipes or protected steel pipes meeting the relevant SABS
specification is allowed. The casing must have no joints, but may have internal
joints so that it still has a smooth external surface.
(2)
Position of the culvert
On the bottom of a pipe culvert or in one of the bottom corners of a portal culvert.
(3)
Fastening of casing in culvert
On the bottom of a pipe culvert or in one of the bottom corners of a portal culvert.
(4)
Fastening the casing or pipe inside the drainage culvert is not allowed.
ii.
Crossing through a portal drainage culvert higher than 1,2 metres
(1)
Type of casing
Only galvanised steel pipes or protected steel pipes meeting the relevant
SABS specification is allowed. The casing or pipe must have no joints
but may have internal joints so that it still has a smooth external surface if
the service casing is not encased in concrete.
(2)
Position with the culvert
In one of the bottom corners of a portal culvert.
(3)
Clamps may be used to fasten the casing to the culvert, but then it must
be encased in concrete.
(4)
Encasing in concrete
Class 1:4:4 concrete with a minimum coverage of 50 mm is desired.
iii. Crossing through a culvert not used exclusively for drainage.
(1)
Type of casing
If the casing is not encased in concrete, only galvanised steel pipes or protected
steel pipes meeting the relevant SABS specification is allowed. If the casing is
encased in concrete any suitable casing meeting the relevant SABS specification
may be used.
(2)
Position
In one of the bottom corners provided it does not cause an obstruction for traffic
or pedestrians, otherwise in one of the top corners.
(3)
Fastening to culvert
Clamps may be used to fasten the casing to the culvert.
(4)
Encasing in concrete
Class 1:4:4 concrete with a minimum coverage of 50 mm is required.
9.
RISK AND LIABILITY
9.1
Change to services due to road works
If at any stage deemed necessary by the Department of Roads and Transport to move a
service through an existing culvert due to road works within the road reserve of building
restriction area, the service’s owner shall be responsible for its timely removal and the costs
involved in this regard.
27/01/2010
6
9.2
Damage to services
The placement of services must take place strictly in accordance with plans and
specifications. Unless negligence on the part of the Department of Roads and Transport or
its officials, agents or contractors can be proved, the road authority shall not be liable for any
damage caused to the service by roadworks or traffic or any other occurrence.
9.3
Damage to road
The service’s owner shall be responsible for any damage caused to the road resulting from
the erection or presence of the service in the road reserve and building restriction area.
9.4
Third party claims
The Department of Roads and Transport shall be indemnified against any claim for damages
and legal costs instituted by any person resulting from the erection or presence of the service
in the road reserve and building restriction area.

• The illumination masts may be placed 5m from the yellow edge line (left side of road
way)
• The illumination masts may be placed 4.6m from the white edge line (median side of
roadway) – not for bus routes.
Additional conditions to be considerate for all road types when installing illumination masts.
1. The assumptions as indicated in the table above are based on Plan no. GTP 12/3 of the Typical
Plans for Road Design of the Department of Roads and Transport.
5. As few as possible illumination masts must be erected along side provincial roads and it is
preferred that high masts are used to reduce the number of poles.
6. Illumination masts must be placed as far as possible from the yellow edge line.
7. If possible the masts must be placed behind existing protective measures that is used for other
purposes.
8. “Breakaway” masts are preferred in all circumstances except for narrow medians.
9. The lightning design must conform to the latest revision of the SABS 098 code (part 1).
10. Guardrails must be reinforced at the mast positions by reducing the pole space of the guardrail.
11. Illumination masts may not obstruct the readability of road signs.
12. Where no yellow edge line exists the edge of tar should be used.
13. No drainage structures may be effected.
14. No illumination masts may be placed inside side/median drains.
15. No meter boxes etc. will be permitted inside the road reserve.
16. For parallel installation of services between masts, the service should be placed 1.5m below the
ground level along side the road.
