Tom Tom – World’s Largest Miniature Traffic Jam in Vilakazi Street (Soweto)

19 December 2015 By admin

A MyJHB.co.za selected Vilakazi Street video for you:

TomTom celebrates two years of HD Traffic with the biggest traffic jam of 13 243 toy cars, beating Spain’s previous record of 12 500. The toy cars were laid down in the famous Bacela Street, Soweto, (an area synonymous with South African history) within a few meters of the homes Noble Peace Prize Winner and previous South African President, Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu which involved various South African charities, like StreetWire who made 1716 wire cars for this occasion. The number 1716 links to the average annual saving in commuter travel time by using a TomTom Live Service, which combines the intelligent routing of IQ Routes with real-time traffic feeds.

On 3 June 2010, TomTom South Africa announced the launch of their benchmark traffic service — HD Traffic, and on the 31st of May 2012, two years later TomTom is able to share findings of their anonymous collected GPS historical data for major, main and secondary road networks in South Africa.
