02 May 2025
The City of Cape Town’s Urban Mobility Directorate invites residents, interested parties or groups to have their say on proposed traffic calming measures for the Southern, Northern, Central and Eastern regions. Comments or recommendations can be submitted from this Friday, 2 May 2025, until Monday, 2 June 2025. This statutory public commenting process is an important aspect of this undertaking.
‘Traffic calming measures enhance pedestrian safety, particularly around schools where the highest concentration of vulnerable road users is usually found. Just last month Capetonians were debating a recent study’s findings that parents are concerned about their children’s safety on the roads and I hope that parents will also take this opportunity to add their recommendations around these proposed traffic calming measures to ensure that their concerns are also addressed,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
