Johannesburg - 31% of Gauteng's roads are in a poor or very poor condition, Transport MEC Ismail Vadi said on Tuesday.

"The assessment for 2010 shows that out of the total extent of the provincial paved road network of 4 248km, 9% are in a very good condition; 27% in good condition; 33% in a fair condition; 20% in poor condition and 11% in a very poor condition," he said in his budget address in the Gauteng Legislature.

"These statistics are disturbing as the international benchmark is that a country's road network should not have more than 10% in a poor and very poor condition - provincially we are now at 31%."
