Residents to comment on a one-way system in Goodwood

12 November 2026

The City of Cape Town’s Urban Mobility Directorate invites residents, parents, and road users to comment on a proposal to introduce a permanent northbound one-way system along Molteno Road, Goodwood by 11 December 2026.

The proposal has been designed to improve traffic flow, enhance safety, and create a more organised road environment around De Vrije Zee Primary School and to reduce congestion along the Magistrates Court and Department of Labour office during the peak parking period.

This is an area with many vulnerable road users during busy drop-off and pick-up times. By participating in this process, residents could help shape a safer, more efficient neighbourhood for everyone.

The one-way system proposal includes the following:

  • A one-way along Molteno Road between Voortrekker Road and Dingle Road
  • A one-way along Dingle Road between Molteno Street and Paarl Street
  • A time-based eastbound one-way system along Merriman Road between De Villiers Street and Molteno Street

Interested and affected parties can view or download the technical report and proposed layout on www.capetown.gov.za/collaborate, all recommendations and comments can be submitted via the following ways between today, 12 November 2026 and 11 December 2026:

Public Participation Unit, 3rd Floor Podium Block, Civic Centre, 12 Hertzog Boulevard, Cape Town
