Cycle safe signs in Pta

[Evan Andreou]

Klapperknop

Where on Moloto?

 

At the intersection with Zambesi?

 

Zambesi rd is a call, where do the Karstens/Telkom guys ride, think that area should be covered

[KlapperKnop]

Wolverine, I would suggest starting Moloto Road at the traffic intersection (Zambesi and the road coming from Cullinan)

Zambesi road I would think after the N1 section towards the Kolonade side ...

The boshkop road in Pta east must be one of the most used cycling roads in Pretoria.Hundreds of cyclist ride on this road everyday.

Would be nice to have something like that there.

Wolverine, I would think roads leading to Boschkop turnoff should be where these signs should be visible. I would suggest Lynnwood Road and offcourse Hans Strydom ... I do believe that the Boschkop road in itself does not carry alot of car volumes ... but the roads suggested does.

 

Klapperknop and nochain

Thanks

 

Boschkop definitely, at this stage we need to look at number of signs available (8/10) and realise we need more contributions to effectively cover the area.

 

Can Sammajoor/ Shammy Rash or someone from Karstens let me know where the best place on Zambesi is for the first sign or two

I am meeting with the Road Traffic Engineer from Gauteng on the 11 October to survey the route/roads. We only have 8 signs as a start and as mentioned, this is an ongoing project and need to finalise the complete route. Once the placement of signs have been agreed upon, we can erect the 8 signs and campaign for more funds to purchase & erect the remainder of the signs.

 

The suggestion of sign placement is as follows. After each intersection where traffic enters the route and every 2 km. The Lido route is 48km long and we have erected over 65 signs thus far and still require about 20 more.

 

BigH, as Wolfie mentioned, we can not cover all areas at the same time. We need to start 'somewhere' and will cover 'all' areas and provinces, it just depends on funds received.

 

HR, I have registered Sign-Up, but with the new Banking Laws & Credit Act, my application for a bank account is still pending.

 

For now I suggest we look at placing these 8 signs on the most dangerous section of the above mentioned roads.

[Evan Andreou]

Thanks for the input guys

 

Will work on the 8 signs available, hopefully we can get a couple more out of the Sharks/Bulls initiative.

 

Not everyone will be happy but I am going to try and address the areas with greatest need first.

 

Will advise the final list in due course.

 

Please feel free to contribute generously to this cause to get more signs to cover all affected areas adequately

Thanks Wolfie and to those who continue to support this initiative.

 

Just remember, 'We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give" words by Wolverine.

Hey Shaunh, I went down Bellairs today and saw another sign which I hadn't seen before, good spot for it

 

So how is the Kliprivier issue coming along??

Klapperknop, I second most of your suggestions but am with Nochain on the Boschkop road.  I don't cycle out of choice on that road or Lynnwood, but last week we went out on the Boschkop road and really think that road needs priority.  There are a lot of cyclists on that road and there was quite a bit of traffic and the road is not the widest.

[Spinnekop]

Boschkop road - YES, BIG please.  Lots of cyclists!!

The locals think they own the road and I know of a couple of "incidents" on that road.

Wolverine,I would suggest you talk to all of the big klubs/cycling shops in Pta and find out what routes they use.Start with the most used and work your way down.

Velo/Bruce Reineke/Carsten cycles/Morne Bester/Speke/Telkom for example.

[Evan Andreou]

Thats the plan nochain

Can we ask these shops/clubs to sponsor signs as well?

The case of the missing signs has been solved. The Benoni branch of Gauteng Roads Dept. has promised to re-erect these signs by end of next week. Lets all hold thumbs!!
