In this paper multilayer perceptron (MLP) is used to help in monitoring and controlling of the vehicle traffic on the highway. The MLP achieve this by using the last 5 minutes data to predict the next S minutes traffic condition. Thereafter, the predicted traffic status is displayed on the highway for the motorists to read. The proposed model shows 100% accuracy. Implementation of this work will definitely decrease traffic congestion across main arteries of Johannesburg. Pollution normally experienced when cars idle for a long time during congestion will be reduced by free highway traffic flow. Frequent servicing of motor vehicles will no longer be required by the motorists. Furthermore the economy of Gauteng and South Africa as a whole will benefit due to increase in production. Consumers will also benefit in obtaining competitive prices from organizations that depends on haulage services.
