I commute by road bike to work on some days of the week cycling from kraai fontein to century city.

 

Has anyone ever questioned the municipalities about the yellow lanes going down langeberg road? There's almost no shoulder with lots of space to make one plus there seems to be many cyclists using that road.

 

I just find that narrow and in some cases no shoulder so dangerous, especially where they are currently building on the corner of langeberg and okavango...looking at the changes they are making to the road at that specific spot it appears as if they are not planning to have any shoulder at all.

 

Also the part going from durbanville via race course road to tygervalley road has no shoulder, i try and cover that section at speed to get out of there asap. Going down that road i know there are lots of trees but there is enough space between the road and trees to bring a yellow shoulder in of some sort.

 

Now surely with pass a cyclist at 1m law they should be developing roads to allow for that and by not taking cyclists into consideration with new roads and altered roads they are indirectly forcing vehicle drivers to break the law and endangering cyclists. I understand that existing roads existed before the law but surely when they alter or upgrade a road they should be taking the new law into consideration.

 

Does anyone know if requests has been made for alterations to the roads in these areas and if not how would one go about doing it. Can PPA help with something like this?
