Pretoria's roads mix government and commuter traffic with heavy freight on the N1 and N4, and the automotive plants at Rosslyn add car carriers and component trucks to the north. Breakdowns on the N1 near the Proefplaas and Lynnwood interchanges, and on the N4 east toward Silver Lakes and Bronkhorstspruit, are a daily part of the work. In the city, commuter cars from Mamelodi and Atteridgeville need tows on Church Street and Nelson Mandela Drive.
