    In season, over Christmas (December and early January) and Easter (April), however, there are temporary manned speed cameras everywhere.

    Driving between George and Knysna there are permanent speed cameras in the Kaaimans River Pass. The speed limit on this pass is 60kmph for a reason, the pass is very dangerous to take at high speeds, especially when wet.
