Pedestrian safety in urban areas is a pressing issue, with an increase in fatalities highlighting the need for stricter compliance with traffic regulations and better safety measures. Recent tragedies, including the deaths of a fouryearold girl and a 25yearold woman, demonstrate the severe impact of these incidents on wider society. To address the issue, the city plans to reinitiate conversations with the Western Cape Government and Sanral to improve pedestrian safety along highways, while law enforcement agencies continue to enforce traffic regulations and make arrests for violations.
