Bellville on the road
Bellville sits in the northern suburbs where the N1 meets Voortrekker Road, Durban Road and the busy routes up to Durbanville, and towing here is mostly about commuters and the motor trade. The N1 between Bellville and Brackenfell is slow at rush hour, and stalled cars on the Old Oak and Durban Road interchanges cause long queues. Car dealers and panel beaters along Voortrekker Road and in Stikland and Bellville South move stock daily. Winter rain from the cold fronts makes the Tygerberg hill roads and the N1 slippery. Students from the nearby universities and colleges, families, dealers and small fleets ask for tows, car transport and trailer hire here more than heavy recovery.
