Ward 94 councillor David Foley believes traffic light issues could be a thing of the past if the province allows JRA to take over. Ward 94 councillor David Foley believes traffic light issues could be a thing of the past if the province allows JRA to take over.
In January last year, Ward 94 councillor David Foley wrote a letter to Kedibone Diale, the MEC for Gauteng Roads and Transport, to express his concerns about the poor condition of several provincial roads in Fourways and the surrounding areas.
“Traffic lights at the various intersections are the responsibility of the province and are not working regularly. It takes weeks to months to get them attended to although a turnaround time is 14 days as per communication of the Department of Roads and Transport. There have been many accidents at various intersections because of the non-functioning of the traffic lights.”
During their meeting, they discussed the benefits of collaborating which included safety, convenience, sustainability, asset protection, and enhanced experiences for the community He said that even though the issues of potholes, and uncut grasses alongside the roads have been resolved, the traffic light scenario has not improved as there is a 14-day repair timeline which is exceeded by weeks or even months in some cases.
