 
Adopt-A-HighwayThe Durban Region has initiated an "Adopt-A-Highway" project as a result of a lack of funding the maintenance of a highly trafficked and coastal vegetation road reserve. This project entails the KZN-DOT entering into an agreement with a contractor or a local non-profit organisation, such as a conservancy, to erect advertising signs at one kilometre intervals according to predetermined specifications. The income the contractor or conservancy derives from this advertisement is used for grass cutting, removal of noxious weed, litter collection and drain clearing - using emerging contractors at no cost to the KZN-DOT. To date, numerous conservancies have shown interest in this initiative. At present there are 4 projects up and running - the most successful being the Kloof Conservancy along Main Road 1 (M13), between Pinetown and Hillcrest. The contact person at the office of the Regional Director Durban is - Keith Peel
