Cape Town is upgrading its infrastructure in the Belhar region, including the renovation of Robert Sobukwe Road, to enhance road safety, improve riding quality, and extend the lifespan of the city’s road network. The project will commence on December 11th, 2023, and is expected to be completed by December 22nd, 2023. Teams will operate strictly at night to minimize disruption to residents and businesses, and motorists are advised to be cautious and consider alternative routes. This project is a clear demonstration of Cape Town’s commitment to improving the urban environment and prioritizing road safety.
Cape Town faces significant traffic congestion, which frustrates daily commuters. In response to this challenge, the City’s Urban Mobility Directorate has introduced an innovative solution: the Automatic Congestion Information Display (ACID) sign. This system is designed to provide realtime information to commuters travelling towards the southern suburbs of Kalk Bay, Fish Hoek, St James, Noordhoek, and Kommetjie.
