Vehicle Access Parking Permit (VAPP)
The VAPP system is being run on a provincial level by the metropolitan police departments of the host cities, provincial government and the South African Police Services. The process and procedure is thus standard.

Who requires a VAPP?
All those who need to get to an address inside the affected zones (on affected days) need to apply for a VAPP. During the times outlined above, any vehicle that does not carry a VAPP will be restricted from entering. Employers are responsible for ensuring all their employees’ vehicles are applied for.
TIP: If you do not need to access the soft lockdown area, only apply for a VAPP if you need to access the traffic warning zone on a match day

Residents are urged to take careful note of the access restrictions and diversion routes so as to ensure their daily lives are not negatively affected by the tournament

6 – 30 June 2010 (except match days): Soft Lockdown
During this time there will only be access restrictions on the roads immediately surrounding Loftus, i.e. Kirkness Street and parts of Jorissen Street, Lynnwood Road Ayton Street and Bond Street. Vehicles wishing to gain access to this area during this time will need a VAPP. This status will be called soft lockdown.

Match Days: Full Lockdown
During full lockdown vehicles without a VAPP will be restricted from entering a much larger area around Loftus. Full lockdown will take place on the six match days. On these days, traffic will be intercepted the traffic warning zone and only those with a VAPP will be allowed access.

Those without a VAPP will be diverted around the stadium area on the main diversion routes (Duncan; Leyds; Walker/Charles and Schoeman/Pretorius streets). Any vehicle without a VAPP wishing to enter the traffic warning zone on match days will be asked to report to the info point in Farenden Street for an onsite application.

Residents and businesses who are expecting visitors on match days are asked to ensure these visitors apply beforehand for the VAPP. Unexpected visitors will be accommodated but will need to report to the info point first and will be escorted to their destination.
