The FFC recommended that the process of classifying roads among national, provincial and local spheres of government should be accelerated in line with the classification framework already established. It added that the premiers of provinces with roads earmarked for incorporation into national road system should make the necessary applications without further delays. Government supports the recommendation that the road classification process be accelerated as proposed by the FFC adding that delays could lead to unintended consequences, such as underinvestment in the function or lack of proper maintenance.
