OCA have met with Traffic and with Roads departments and submitted a proposal
to improve the flow of traffic through Main Road and Liesbeek Parkway to reduce
the intersection blockages and the long grid-lock in afternoons.

Nothing can be done. Its the culture of poor driving skills and selfish
behaviour. Perhaps avoid the intersection as it is a problem. Barbara

I'm not sure what the plans are Marc, and from driving through Main Road
regularly at 4pm, major issues arise because people block intersections and
areas marked as keep clear. When traffic lights change traffic from the
opposite direction can not pass through the intersections, and people needing
to turn off main road can not because intersections are blocked.
Try turning right into Milton Road from Main, for example...the Keep Clear
section is normally blocked, and it is a nightmare for people coming up Station
into Main as it is usually blocked when the traffic lights change.
Major culprits are buses in the inside lane which will be bumper to bumper
like train carriages.
Thanks for the efforts. David

Yes but what we are looking at is not this going to police this specific
problem, even if all is related.
We are looking at making Main Road move with less gridlock and also the
problem of Liesbeek Parkway traffic building up all the way up station Road.
Besides this we are also interested in resolving some issues of Lower Main
and other traffic patterns in Obs.
Reckless driving needs to be fined!
Trucks are meant to be restricted but seems signs are not complete nor
policed enough.

I think Marc Turok is working on something regarding transport.

Can he not assist? An appeal to him from OCA, OBSID, ONW ?????

The taxi issue has not abated anywhere in Obz. Earlier this week
two taxis drove through Cook St from Rochester. One nearly ran me down! Another
large truck also drove down Cook from Rochester - squeezing through the narrow
space left for driving in this very narrow road.
On Thursday afternoon last week, I was on the corner of Polo &
Wembley. It was peak traffic time & during the say 10 minutes I was there at
least 20 cars turned into Wembley from Rochester & crossed Polo. Not sure where
they went from there.
I have seen No Entry signs for trucks & taxis in other residential
areas. Can we get the same? I believe we have to shout louder to resolve this
problem. The raid on taxis a week or two ago has obviously not made much of a
difference to the delinquent drivers' behaviour.

* the taxi issue in Arnold Street has not abated one iota
* a certain household in Arnold St has for weeks now been
putting their recycling out on a Wednesday. This has not been collected by
Recycle 1st - much as all the other bags are. I contacted the company and
they are not registered for collection. Does this constitute "illegal dumping"?
