06 July 2023

The City of Cape Town’s Urban Mobility Directorate is calling on residents to comment on the proposed traffic calming measures in various areas such as Kraaifontein, Delft, Belhar, Bishop Lavis and surrounds. The City intends to construct traffic calming measures and would like input from interested residents. The public have an opportunity until 31 July 2023 to provide feedback for the City to consider. 

'We have identified roads in suburbs across Cape Town where there are large numbers of vulnerable road users, these are mostly roads that are close to schools, hospitals, and old age homes for example. These proposed traffic calming measures will enhance road safety for all road users, which is a top priority for the City,' said the City's Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
