Lower-risk driving routes in Ekurhuleni

What the data looks like here

732 mapped areas across Ekurhuleni.

Every area is rated three times over, once each for daytime, evening and night, because risk in South African metros does not hold still across a day. Here is how Ekurhuleni’s 732 areas fall across the bands at each of those hours.

Figures read directly from the live database, not typed by hand. The lowest band means an area was checked and carries no routing penalty, which is different from an area we have no data for. No area in the country is rated worse by day than it is at night, so the night bar is also the worst case.

• Daytime05:00 to 17:30 39%
• Evening17:30 to 19:30 42%
• Night19:30 to 05:00 62%

The right-hand figure is the share of Ekurhuleni’s mapped areas sitting in the highest band at that hour.

• Highest avoided by default on the strictest setting
• Elevated always costed, avoided on the strictest setting
• Caution costed but never avoided, since it is too widespread to route around
• No penalty checked and carries no routing cost
