Cape Town has set up a temporary traffic circle at the busy intersection of Govan Mbeki and Duinefontein to make driving safer and smoother while big roadworks happen. This roundabout helps cut down traffic jams and accidents by keeping cars moving in a steady flow. It’s part of a bigger plan to improve public transport and connect neighborhoods better. Though temporary, this traffic circle is a step toward a future where getting around Cape Town is easier and faster for everyone.
The MyCiTi bus service is getting a big upgrade in Claremont, Cape Town! Starting in March 2025 and finishing by December 2027, this 2.7kilometer extension will make traveling easier and help reduce traffic jams. The project aims to bring the community together, encouraging residents to share their thoughts and ideas on the changes. With better buses, cleaner air, and more connections, Claremont is set to become a vibrant hub, blending its rich history with a bright, sustainable future.
Reimagining Cape Town’s Unfinished Freeways: Vision, Resistance, and the Future of Urban Mobility
Cape Town’s unfinished freeways are giant concrete reminders of a past full of broken plans and division. Engineer Gareth Ramsay imagines turning these empty roads into a sixkilometre rail line that would connect neighborhoods, ease traffic, and heal old apartheid separations. His idea sparks hope by turning wasted space into a green, inclusive way to move around the city, offering fresh chances for everyone. Though city officials are cautious, the conversation fuels a bigger dream: transforming Cape Town’s roads from barriers into bridges for a better future.
