Sign the Petition: Make Mangaung’s Roads Safe Again
Road safety in Mangaung has reached a critical point. Lives are being lost and families torn apart due to preventable accidents caused by speeding, reckless driving, and dangerously neglected road conditions. Potholes, faded markings, non-functional traffic lights, and the absence of proper traffic calming measures have made daily travel unsafe for motorists and pedestrians alike.
The people of Mangaung are calling on the Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality to take urgent, decisive action to restore safety and accountability on our roads. Immediate steps must be taken to:
- Redraft and strengthen the Municipal Traffic By-Law to improve enforcement, increase penalties for violations, and ensure proper management of road safety.
- Ring-fence all revenue from traffic fines and penalties for road maintenance and safety improvements within Mangaung.
- Install speed cameras and monitoring systems in known danger zones and reckless driving hotspots.
- Repair potholes and damaged roads as a matter of urgency.
- Introduce traffic calming measures such as speed humps, raised pedestrian crossings, and traffic circles in high-risk areas.
- Restore and maintain reflective signage, clear road markings, and functional traffic lights across the Metro.
Every life lost on the road is one too many. Action cannot wait. Mangaung deserves roads that are safe, maintained, and properly managed.
Sign this petition to demand that the municipality prioritise road safety and protect the lives of all who live, work, and travel in Mangaung.
