Safer Roads, Traffic Calming and Urgent Road Infrastructure Rehabilitation in Ward 22
Calling for effective traffic-calming measures and consistent maintenance of roads, signage and road infrastructure in Bainsvlei, Langenhovenpark and Spitskop.
Residents of Ward 22 deserve roads that are safe, properly maintained and fit for purpose.
Communities across Bainsvlei, Langenhovenpark and Spitskop are raising serious concerns about two interconnected problems: speeding and inadequate traffic-calming measures, as well as the continued deterioration of road infrastructure.
Potholes, damaged road surfaces, deteriorating road edges, faded road markings, inadequate signage and roads requiring rehabilitation or resurfacing affect the safety of motorists, pedestrians, cyclists and children. At the same time, excessive speeding and unsafe intersections place additional pressure on already compromised roads and increase the risks faced by road users.
We are therefore calling on Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality to urgently undertake a comprehensive assessment of the road network throughout Ward 22 and implement a coordinated programme of road repairs, rehabilitation, resurfacing, maintenance and appropriate traffic-calming interventions.
By signing this petition, residents are calling for:
- An urgent assessment of the condition of roads and intersections throughout Bainsvlei, Langenhovenpark and Spitskop.
- The identification and prioritisation of severely deteriorated roads, potholes and damaged road surfaces requiring immediate repair.
- The resurfacing and rehabilitation of roads where routine pothole repairs are no longer an adequate or sustainable solution.
- A clear programme for the ongoing preventative maintenance of road infrastructure to prevent further deterioration.
- Proper maintenance and repair of road shoulders, kerbs, stormwater-related road damage and associated infrastructure where required.
- An urgent assessment of speeding hotspots, dangerous intersections and high-risk residential roads.
- The installation of appropriate speed humps, raised intersections and other traffic-calming measures where assessments demonstrate a need.
- Measures to address excessive speeding in residential areas.
- Improved and clearly visible road markings, stop lines, pedestrian crossings and traffic signage.
- Safer pedestrian infrastructure, particularly near schools, parks, businesses and busy community areas.
- Improved traffic management and appropriate interventions at dangerous and high-traffic intersections.
- Regular maintenance of existing traffic-calming infrastructure, road markings and signage.
- A prioritised implementation plan with realistic timeframes for road repairs, resurfacing, rehabilitation and traffic-safety interventions.
- Clear communication with residents regarding identified projects, priorities and progress.
OUR ROADS CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO DETERIORATE FURTHER.
Road safety is about more than controlling speed. It is also about ensuring that the roads residents use every day are properly maintained, clearly marked and structurally safe.
Ward 22 residents are calling for practical, urgent and sustainable action to protect our road infrastructure and make the roads of Bainsvlei, Langenhovenpark and Spitskop safer for everyone.
SIGN THE PETITION.
Support safer roads, responsible traffic management and the urgent repair and rehabilitation of Ward 22’s road infrastructure.
