Resolution detail

RESOLVED
 
  1. WARD 105:  Request for a raised Intersection at Joostenberg Way / Brackenfell Boulevard / Slanghoek Road (TNDN3475).  An application for a raised intersection was received from:  Justin Oates
 
That the traffic calming application for a raised intersection at Joostenberg Way / Brackenfell Boulevard / Slanghoek Road NOT BE SUPPORTED for the reasons as indicated below:
 
REASONS FOR NON SUPPORT AS PROVIDED BY TRANSPORT NETWORK DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT
 
City of Cape Town Traffic Calming Policy:
  •         According to Section 7(1) (a), only Class 4 and Class 5 roads are subject to physical traffic calming measures.
  •         Traffic calming measures should first and foremost be provided to protect the most vulnerable road users where they occur in the largest numbers. The roads adjacent to and leading to schools should therefore be the primary focus of the TND traffic calming programme.
  •         According to Section 7(1) (d), Traffic calming measures may be implemented on a Class 5 Local Street in a residential area in the vicinity of public facilities.
 
Desktop Assessment
Brackenfell Boulevard is a Class 3 Secondary Arterial functioning as the primary “mobility” road.
 
Technical overview
  •         On Minor Arterials (Class 3), Major Arterials (Class 2) and Principal Arterials (Class 1), which have the primary functions of mobility at reasonable speeds, the appropriate means to regulate drivers’ speeds is effective law enforcement. Physical traffic calming measures will not be used to regulate speed on these roads.
  •         Traffic calming is therefore not warranted based on section 7(c) within the Traffic Calming Policy. Speed humps are not permissible on Class 3 roads.
 
 
B.     WARD 21:  Request received for traffic calming along Gillian Street,   (TNDN1867).  An application for traffic calming between 53 and 57 Gillian Street, Bric a Clay Boulevard was received from Alfred Payne (new applicant)
 
That this application BE DEALT with once the appeal ito Gillian Street is finalised, this application to remain on the outstanding matters schedule and the applicant be advised accordingly.
 
C.     WARD 21:  Request received for traffic calming (additional stop streets and/or speed humps) along Kendal Road, Eversdal (from Durbanville Avenue to Stepping Stones Rd) ( (TNDN3477).  An application for traffic calming was received from Celeste van der Merwe
 
That a site visit BE SCHEDULED with all role players in attendance and the matter again serve on the May agenda.
