As Cape Town is now one of the most congested cities in the world, we should be looking at how other cities have addressed these issues.
restricting hours where delivery vehicles are allowed in congested areas. In London deliveries are outside of 7am-7pm, ensuring that trucks and deliveries do not block busy roads.
many accidents on Kloof neck road have been by construction traffic, restricting times outside of peak hours will help.
traffic to the port should be designed around free flow corridors, keeping them away from local traffic as much as possible, with a timed slot for entry and exit. A holding site outside the city will ensure they only enter when they can load or unload instead of sitting along public roads waiting.
