Resolution detail
RESOLVED that having considered the City of Cape Town Traffic Calming Policy and the recommendation from Transport Planning & Network Management Department;
-
Constitution Street between McKenzie Street and Drury Street is classified as a Class 5 Local Street located within a medium-density residential area of District Six.
-
McKenzie Road Park is located in close proximity to the study area, which may attract vulnerable pedestrian activity across the study roadway.
-
Therefore, the potential for pedestrian/vehicle conflict along Constitution Street between McKenzie Street and Drury Street can be considered high and compliant with Section 7(3) of the Traffic Calming Policy.
-
Given the above, it is recommended to implement two speed humps along Constitution Street between McKenzie Street and Drury Street. The above recommendations are illustrated in DRAWING 4620/TNDC2924/01..
