The proposed traffic calming measures include the construction of speed humps, raised intersections and pedestrian crossings as well as a mini-circle. The affected areas are:

• Gugulethu

• Manenberg

• Surrey Estate

• Lansdowne

• Lotus River

• Hanover Park

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 safeguarding road users in our communities. 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.
