Traffic calming devices cannot be acquired through private funding

After a discussion earlier this week on VOC Breakfast regarding speed humps and the application thereof, it has become clear that communities across the Cape Flats have recognised the need and importance of traffic calming measures as vehicles tend to speed up and down this road, exceeding speed limits appropriate in residential areas, completely ignoring the fact that children play in the roads at all hours of the day which has resulted in some accidents occurring in the roads. Now residents have gone to the extent of damaging roads by unlawfully digging them up to create “speed trenches” that force motorists to slow down.
