Resolution detail
RESOLVED that having considered the City of Cape Town Traffic Calming Policy and the recommendation from Transport Planning & Network Management Department;
a) St Michaels Road is a Class 5 Local Street located within a medium-density residential area of Tamboerskloof.
b) Our assessment indicated that St. Michaels Sports Field, St. Michaels Road Park and Jan van Riebeeck Primary School are located along St. Michaels Road to attract vulnerable or high concentrations of pedestrian activity across the study roadway.
c) Therefore, the potential for pedestrian/vehicle conflict along St Michaels Road is considered high and compliant with Section 7(3) of the Traffic Calming Policy.
Given the above and considering the City of Cape Town Traffic Policy, we recommend the implementation of two speed humps in the vicinity of the public amenities. The recommendations are illustrated in DRAWING 4620/TNDC3579/01.
