The N1 national route atop the Hex River Pass

Railway network in the Western Cape
The Western Cape has an excellent network of highways comparable with any firstworld country. The primary highways are the N1 (from Cape Town to Three Sisters,
continuing outside the province towards Bloemfontein and Johannesburg), N2 (fro
m Cape Town to Bloukrans River, towards Port Elizabeth), N7 (from Cape Town to B
itterfontein, continuing towards Springbok and Namibia) and N12 (from George to
Three Sisters, continuing towards Kimberley and Johannesburg). Other routes are
the "R" roads which connect the smaller towns. All major roads are tarred with m
ajor rural gravel roads well maintained. Limited access motorways are limited to
the Cape Metropolitan Area, Winelands and Garden Route, however due to the low
population density of the remainder of the province, the highways remain efficie
nt and high-speed, except during peak holiday travel seasons, when travel can be
slow-going in places due to heavy traffic.[citation needed]
Telecommunications in the province are highly sophisticated. Landline telephones
are available extensively, and the majority of large urban nodes have access to
ADSL and other high-speed internet services.[citation needed] Mobile cellular n
etworks are world-class, with reception extending from cities to highways and ma
ny remote rural areas.[citation needed] Mobile networks also play an important r
ole in the internet space due to their speed and widespread availability. Major
cities and towns have access to mobile internet speeds in excess of 21 Mbit/s (H
SDPA+). In areas where HSDPA+ is not available, netwInfrastructure and communica
