The arguments of minimal road space occupied, reduced impact on road infrastructure, and inconvenience of toll plazas for motorcyclists are the most important. Motorcycles, which are lighter and smaller than cars, contribute less to road wear and tear and should therefore pay less in tolls. Additionally, the process of paying tolls at toll plazas is more time-consuming for motorcyclists due to their protective gear, which requires them to dismount and potentially remove equipment to pay the toll.

The weight of a bike is a quarter of the weight of lightest car so our impact on the roads are negliable.

The unfairness to pay the same amount as a vechile or towing a caravan , riding long distances from Pretoria to Mpumalanga Nelspruit and back cost you more than R500.00 - then still the high petrol prices

Against toll fees for bikes. I pay 27 licenses a year for vehicle's.

It is grossly unjust for a motorcyclist to have to pay the same toll fee as a motor vehicle towing a horse box. In most countries Motorcyclists do not pay toll fees - this needs to be rectified in South Africa

Bikers do not contribute to the wear and tear of roads. Bikes are light weight and mostly carry one person. A single taxi, for instance, puts four heavy wheels on the road many more times compared to a single biker. Yet, the biker who does not contribute to either road wear or congestion is required to pay an equal fee. Heavy vehicles, understandably, pay pro-rata more for the use of the road. Bikers should, by the same reasoning, pay less - or not at all.

It is not fair that we pay the same toll as cars when we have a drastically lower impact on the road network in all aspects.

Bryce Black (Pretoria, 2025-05-21)

I feel that bikers do not damadge the roads and we do not occupy the same space on the road and cause traffic digestion like other vehicles.

This toll fees is a rip of why must i pay the same as a big 4x4 bakkie with a double axel pay the same they are strealing from us

Gerrit Mynhardt (Witbank, 2025-05-21)

How should 2xwheels pay the same as vehicles with trailers??? Then there are taxi's and busses with passangers that help with toll fees, where private vehicles have to pay out of own pockets. Calculations are wrong and unfair.

There shouldn't be tolls at all or at least use the money to keep alternative routes operational.

Motorcycles are least prone to causing any damage to any road surface hence bikers should pay the least amount for any toll gate

Bikers are light road users woth less than 200mm² contact on the tar.

I also agree that toll fees for motorcycles should not be the same as motor cars....actually it should be no charge for motorcycles!

Wayne Duck (Krugersdorp, 2025-05-21)

Bikes use less space and weigh less than cars and the billing is set according to weight. Not fair.

Unfair price structure for motorcycles

Steven Booyzen (Edenvale, 2025-05-21)

The gross vehicle mass is so much less on a motorcycle then a big 4×4 towing a trailer or caravan

Gerrie Serfontein (Secunda, 2025-05-21)

#863

It seems to be for a good cause and it is just fair, because bikes are so much lighter than vehicles so why pay the same fees.

Hein Schmidlin (Saldanha, 2025-05-21)

Toll fees for bikes should not be anywhere near what they are for cars/mini busses.

Keith Goulding (Durban, 2025-05-21)

Tiaan Taljaard (Pretoria, 2025-05-22)

Paying the same fees as vehicles is not fair.
Most of Mpumalanga toll roads are not even up to standard and save for bike riding,especially the N17 and they are the most expensive toll rodes.

Tolls are not fair to bikers. And very inconvenient.

Sean Harford (White River, 2025-05-22)

I'm a biker, and don't think it's fair to pay the same as the vehicle's. We ride on 2 wheels.... Not 4.

Erika Tolmay (Krugersdorp, 2025-05-22)

#887

It is crazy to expect a biker to pay R122 at Machado tollgate and all other ridiculous fees. It is heavy vehicles such as trucks that damage the roads.

Toll fees are high for 2 smal tyres on the road

Johan De Jager (Nelsoruit, 2025-05-23)

Motorcycles are being exploited by the wildly unfair toll tariffs. Their fees should be at least a quarter of that of a car.

Jesse Hardy (Mbombela, 2025-05-23)

I'm signing, because we're paying WAY TO MUCH

Monicque Pretorius (Vanderbijlpark, 2025-05-23)

I feel that the toll price system is totally unfair towards motorcycists in that we have to pay the same prices as charged for motor vehicles much heavier,towing trailers and carriying multiple passengers!

Anton Scholtz (Krugersdorp, 2025-05-23)

#921

I'm signing because I am a biker, who travels a lot on my motorcycle and have to pay the same toll fees as cars, that are more than triple the weight and size.

Andre Van Niekerk (Polokwane, 2025-05-23)

#924

I’m signing because a bike weighs about 250kg Vs a car 1500 to 3500kg exerting load onto the road at 125kg per wheel Vs 600kg per wheel. So tollfees for bikes should be maximum 1/4 of the fee cars pay.

Paul Philippus Stephanus du Toit (Centurion, 2025-05-23)

#926

The average motorcycle and riders weight is around 400kg maybe 500kg with a passenger, if a million motorcycles rode everyday on a given highway the DAMAGE TO THE ROAD WOULD BE ZERO!🤬

Graham Molton (Boksburg, 2025-05-23)

I am signing this petition because bikers chould not pay the same as 4 wheel vehicles.

Gidieon de Bruin (Vredenburg, 2025-05-24)

#942

It is very unfair and not normal to have a two wheel and very light motor cycle to be charged the same amount or even close to the same amount because these are totally different.If the tolls are to repair national roads bikes have a minimal to non existent effect effect to the road as they are lighter and occupy very minimal portion on the road.The toll should be 5% of the light weight motor vehicle.

Mokebe Ramatlotlo (Johannesburg, 2025-05-24)

Im signing because 2 wheels does not causes damages like 4 and 16

Toll fees have gotten out of hand! Vehicle impact on roads are calculated as E80s (Equivalent 8Ton axle loads) and whichbis designed for accordingly. Motorcycles generally weigh leass than 250kg and therefor have a negligable impact on the road condition and maintenance. Why should we pay toll fees then?

CJ van den Berg (Centurion, 2025-05-27)

My Husband, my 2 boys & i ride bikes.

We pay the same amount as 4 x SUV's with Caravans when we go for a ride.

Motorcycles should definitely pay a lot less. For my family, a quarter of what we pay now.
