The City of Cape Town is proposing several changes to existing intersections along the M3, the most important arterial road link between suburbs in the Southern Peninsula and the city:
The intention is to alleviate the bottlenecks along the M3 between Upper Hillwood Road and Newlands Avenue by removing two signalised intersections, implementing three median closures and road closure, among others, to assist the free flow of traffic along this section.
‘The study makes recommendations on what changes can be implemented to improve traffic flow, adding that these will have an immediate positive impact for the far majority of people who are travelling along the M3. I urge residents to please comment on these proposals by 18 November 2022,” said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
The impact of the proposed median closures at Fernwood Avenue, Torquay Avenue and Upper Hillwood Road A cost/benefit analysis confirms the benefits in savings are three times the value of the estimated cost to implement the proposalsTo close the median at the intersection of Fernwood Avenue, and to remove the traffic signal so that traffic can move freely through this section of the M3.
To implement a free-flow left-turn slip lane at the M3/Rhodes Avenue intersection for traffic travelling eastbound along Rhodes Avenue. This will improve the capacity at this intersection, in particular during the morning peak hour period for those travelling towards the city Traffic travelling in a northbound direction will be able to exit the M3 by turning left into Upper Torquay Avenue; similarly, those driving along Upper Torquay Avenue will be able to enter the M3 by turning left to travel northbound towards the city
