Roads across the South Coast have seen increased traffic as residents begin their Easter journeys, with many travelling to visit family or attend religious gatherings.
The annual Easter period is traditionally marked by high mobility, as communities come together for church services and family celebrations.
Authorities have advised motorists to exercise caution on the roads, as congestion and long-distance travel increase the risk of accidents.
Local transport operators have also reported a rise in passenger numbers, with buses and taxis operating at full capacity in some areas.
Despite the heavy traffic, many travellers say the Easter season remains an important time for reflection, rest, and reconnecting with loved ones.
