19 April 2024

The City of Cape Town’s Urban Mobility Directorate invites community members in the central region of Cape Town to comment on proposed traffic calming measures in their respective areas. The opportunity to submit comments, recommendations or input on traffic calming measures closes on Wednesday, 24 April 2024.

The proposed traffic calming measures include the construction of speed humps, raised intersections and pedestrian crossings.

The affected areas are:

Gardens
Table View
Tamboerskloof
Thornton
Maitland
Milnerton
District Six
Vredehoek

Although it is the City's intention to implement traffic calming measures at all the sites listed above, these will be subject to the availability of funding.

'Traffic calming measures are a great tool in making our residential roads safer. These measures enhance pedestrian safety, particularly around schools where there is the highest concentration of vulnerable road users. The statutory public comment process is an important aspect of this undertaking. I encourage you to view the maps and submit any comment or input you might have,' said the City's Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
