Comments Sought on Traffic Calming Measures for Central, Eastern, Northern and Southern Regions of Cape Town

The City of Cape Town’s Urban Mobility Directorate would like to remind residents, interested parties or groups that the comment period for the proposed traffic calming measures for the Southern, Northern, Central and Eastern regions closes next week Monday, 2 June 2025.

‘Traffic calming measures enhance pedestrian safety, particularly around schools where the highest concentration of vulnerable road users is usually found. Just last month, Capetonians were debating a recent study’s findings that parents are concerned about their children’s safety on the roads and I hope that parents will also take this opportunity to add their recommendations around these proposed traffic calming measures to ensure that their concerns are also addressed,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.

  1. Fun South African Fact: The Karoo region in the Western Cape is home to some of the best fossils of early dinosaurs. In fact, it is estimated that some 80% of the mammalian fossils found to date were found in the Karoo.

  2. Some lions just escaped a nature reserve in South Africa

    They were rejected from their group.

    They could maybe ask to be let in the group again

    But their pride wouldn\’t let them.
