Old Paarl Road between Maroela Street and Sam Njokozela Avenue, Bloekombos, Kraaifontein |
Vertical traffic calming measures in the form of speed humps or raised pedestrian crossing is not permitted along a road Class 3 road such as Old Paarl Road. Therefore, traffic calming measures are not recommended along the study road section.
Additional pedestrian crossing facilities are also not supported along Old Paarl Road, since there is no specific desire line where pedestrians cross the roadway. All intersections along the study section have pedestrian facilities to ensure pedestrians cross the roadway safely.
It is recommended that regular law enforcement along Old Paarl Road between Maroela Road and Sam Njokozela Avenue be done.
An alternative intersection control such as a traffic signal or roundabout could be investigated at the Old Paarl Road/ Jackson Masala Street intersection where motorist disobey the existing all-way stop control.
In addition, the missing road signage at the roundabouts along the study section should be re-implemented. |

? Mini-bus taxis rank, park and wait, at the public parks;
? Park and cause noise and /or waste pollution;
? Park in high numbers limiting parking opportunities for the
Public;
? Park in such a way that hinder the flow of pedestrians and
traffic on a regular basis.
Note: None of these were observed during the site visit and thereof is no valid reason for prohibition signs to be provided and is thus not warranted.
