#5 I Support Petition, but I Disagree With the Measures Proposed2015-04-10 19:05Speed cameras will be retrospective and will not safeguard the school children crossing that section of road. A traffic circle and rumble strips in both directions will be more effective. Too many people cut into the traffic from the side roads as well. Speed cameras will not stop that from happening either. |

#6 agree to disagree2015-04-10 19:23I think it's imperative that measures be taken to limit the amount of accidents, however besides just a camera the road needs speed grids That will alert drivers to slow down.
A traffic circle will not work because it's a route used by buses. |

#92015-04-10 20:24I have lived on Elaine Street, which is off Swartgoud Street for more than 20 odd years & have witnessed some horrific accidents, yes some with cars in swimming pools & others in bedrooms let alone loss of life. Some rainy days as much as several accidents in a short space of time on Swartgoud Street. Therefore I sign this petition and do believe that camera's or speed breakers should be erected on the bend or as deemed fit by the City Roads Department to avoid further loss of life and accidents. |

#102015-04-10 21:13I live in the area and the reoccurrences of accidents on this bend has increased tremendously and is unsafe. During rainy seasons there are sometimes three accidents within a three hour period which is completely dangerous and harmful |

#202015-04-11 08:51I live in the area and feel that the bend is hugely problematic. My husband was in an accident there after another motorist caught dead brakes to belatedly turn off Swartgoud. We need to slow people down as they come up and down the road. |
