This situation is getting out of control.....no traffic lights most of the time. Serious congestion etc etc

I live in the Fourways Area.

Congestion due to upgrading is one thing. To have it made considerably worse, and more dangerous, because of selfish, unlawful bahaviour (like taxis - and other people following their lead) is simply not acceptable.

I might say also, that I feel visible police is not a permanent solution. Everyone suddenly behaves when they see policemen/vehicles. As soon as the visibility goes away, the bad behaviour returns. We have to inflict pain. Fines / license suspension / etc. to bring everyone back into line.Hit where it hurts most - their pockets.

Traffic safety is very important around schools and frustrated drivers (private cars as well as taxis) violate traffic laws continuously, potentially endangering the lives of pedestrians, mainly scholars, during peak traffic times.

I live and work in the area getting anywhere at anytime of the day is a disaster

The traffic is a nightmare and need to be addressed

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-12)

#220

We are in constant danger every day we travel to school due to unruly taxi drivers and the public who believe it is their right to drive unlawfully. I have been spat on and my side mirrors broken by taxi drivers when confronting them from a near head-on collision when they drive on the wrong side of the road, one taxi driver even threatened me with a bat. The cops do absolutely nothing as some of them are taxi owners, so of course they will be biased. The taxi association does nothing even when you have proof of the license number in the photo. Our children's lives are in serious danger. This unlawfulness cannot go on much longer before someone takes more drastic measures which could ultimately result in death!

I am a parent of a child in Fourways Highschool and it is a HUGE problem!

#223

I have resided in the greater Fourways area since 2007 and although I have seen real improvements north of the Leaping Frog robot as a result of road widening, the area to the south has become a real danger area. I support this petition.

(Dainfern Valley, Midrand, 2018-03-12)

#226

I am signing this as the traffic in the Fourways area is dangerous and not road rules are obeyed.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-12)

#228

The traffic has become a hazard in the Fourways area and fear that the conditions could become a catalyst for some tragic road rage incidents.

(Sandton, 2018-03-12)

I experience this traffic everyday and see how reckless drivers have become, it's terrifying.

(Fourways, 2018-03-12)

Traffic in Fourways is terribly congested.

(Fourways, 2018-03-12)

I'm concerned about the traffic situation in fourways close to the Fourways High School area/Montecasino.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-12)

#242

I live in Fourways and the traffic is a daily nightmare. Mostly the ill-discipline and lack of enforcement by anuone.

(Fourways, 2018-03-12)

#244

WE NEED BETTER TRAFFIC CORRDINATION AND A BETTER CONTROL & HANDLE ON ALL TAXIS!

(FOURWAYS, 2018-03-12)

I am affected by the traffic congestion every morning and now need to leave my house before 6am in the morning in order to get my children to school and then to work.

(Fourways, 2018-03-12)

#252

Something needs to be done urgently!!!

(Gauteng, 2018-03-12)

#254

The traffic in Fourways area is terrible, especially William Nicol Drive, Witkoppen, Kingfisher.

(Fourways, 2018-03-12)

#259

The roads are horrendous and a danger. The volume of cars on our road outweighs the infrastructure. The lawlessness is unacceptable and needs to stop

(Lonehill, 2018-03-12)

#264

I agree with the petition to do something about the traffic problem

(Fourways, 2018-03-12)

#265

Trying to get children to school and to get to work is just an impossiblity every day, which contributes to stress n taxi road rage. Taxis n vehicles driving in pavements.
Kindly look into this serious matter.

It takes me 45min to drive 3.6km in the morning

(Randburg, 2018-03-12)

#267

The taaffc situation is bad, costs time and money. 45 mind to travel 5kms is ridiculous. Leads to road rage and unruly behavior. Lack of compliance to simple road traffic laws

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-12)

The safety of our children are of immense importance.

(JHB, 2018-03-12)

This matter is dire and needs urgent intervention

The traffic in and out of Fourways is a nightmare .

(Sandton, 2018-03-12)

#274

I do not stay far away from work however it takes me over an hour to travel a short distance

(Fourways, 2018-03-12)

#277

It takes me more than an hour to do 8km - from Fourways to Paulshof - past St Peters

(Sandton, 2018-03-12)

#278

I'm signing this petition because I agree that the Fourways traffic is a huge issue and faulty traffic lights as well as insufficient or inexperienced points men create chaos in an already untenable situation. The taxis should have a dedicated lane which would stop them from cutting other drivers off in an attempt to beat the queues.

(Lonehill, Sandton, 2018-03-12)

#279

Families that live within the 6km school zone should not have to travel an hour or more to drop the kids at school. Some kids get dropped off in the dark as parents still need to brave the crazy traffic to get to work.

(JOHANNESBURG, 2018-03-12)

#281

Traffic violations by a relatively small percentage of motorists results in the law-abiding majority to become less patient and drive recklessly. We need to urgently restore order to our City. Taxis play a vital part of the city transport system and need to be better regulated and engaged with to find a lasting solution to their current unlawful behavior.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-12)

I am signing this petition because I am really frustrated with the Fourways morning traffic. You guys can really do better.

(Fourways, 2018-03-12)

#287

The traffic in Fourways and surrounding areas is rediculous. How can traveling 6km take 45min if not more

(Gauteng, 2018-03-12)

#291

There is no reason for the local residents to put up with THIRD WORLD irresponsibility in this day and age. Get with the 21st century and fix the problems everybody experiences everyday. This is costing money for companies, workers and the City of Johannesburg every day.

(Fourways, Johannesburg, 2018-03-12)

#293

It takes me up to an hour to get my kids to school from Lonehill to Fourways, which is 5 kms.

(Lonehill, 2018-03-12)

#294

Motorists and taxis drive in the oncoming lanes and this is causing major problems. Recently I was involved in an accident when a car slammed into the back of my car as I braked due to the taxi driving on my lane. The traffic is hectic and it takes me an hour to drive 6km from Douglasdale to Fourways High School. Please, please do something to change this situation.

(FOURWAYS, 2018-03-12)

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-12)

#299

I'm signing because I'm fed up with the constant traffic congestion. Get the traffic lights working more frequently is a good start.

(Fourways, 2018-03-12)

The traffic is horrendous and getting worse monthly. Please please help us

(fourways, 2018-03-12)

#304

I’m signing because I am affected by the traffic daily on my way to Fourways and back.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-12)

#309

I agree. This is the worst traffic in South Africa that I have seen.

(Sandton, 2018-03-12)

#311

Worst traffic ever!!!

(Sandton, 2018-03-12)

#315

It takes an hour to drop children off at the high school and primary school and our lives are endangered every day by the unlawful actions of the taxi drivers who have no problem driving into oncoming traffic in kingfisher road - this is unacceptable.

(Fourways, 2018-03-13)

#317

The situation on witkoppen is dangerous and ridiculous

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-13)

(Fourways, 2018-03-13)

#321

the traffic has become a nightmare due to faulty robots, this also adds to severely stressful situations and an inordinate amount of wasted time on our roads.

(fourways, 2018-03-13)

#322

im signing cause I believe in what has been stated and the traffic in fourways is a nightmare

(johannesburg, 2018-03-13)

#328

Im signing the petition because the traffic in Fourways is becoming unbearable. I live in Fourways and work in Bedforview. It can take me up o an hour at times to leave Fourways and get on to the highway.

William nicol has been turned into a 5 lane road. If you are involved in a critical accident you have a poor chance of getting an ambulance past the backlog of cars in the emergency lanes.

Something needs to be done!

I'm a concerned parent of a Fourways pupil as well as a frustrated driver.

#331

I drop my son every day in Fourways area, I take between 30-50 minutes to drive 5km in the Fourways area but it takes me quicker to Hyde Park from Fourways, which is longer km's.

(Fourways, Johannesburg, 2018-03-13)

#332

I have lived in Lonehill for 30 years. The traffic situation has become an absolute nightmare. The complete lawlessness off the TAXIS is putting all other law abiding citizens life at risk each and every day. These issues need to be addressed URGENTLY. Thank you

(JOHANNESBURG, 2018-03-13)

#334

I live in the area and have to deal with this on a daily basis

(Lonehill, 2018-03-13)

#335

Extremely frustrated that It takes me 45-50mins in the mornings for school drop off and that is ONLY a distance of 2.74km. Taxis, as well as other drivers have NO concern, NO patience, absolutely NO regard for road rules and other road users. Urgent problem - needs urgent attention!!!

(Fourways, 2018-03-13)

#336

Tired of traffic congestion in this area. It's a struggle trying to get out of fourways in the morning.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-13)

#337

The traffic is very bad.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-13)

#339

The traffic congestion up to William Nicol from Fourways High school, Kingfisher Road is a nightmare. Granted there are plenty cars which won't change, and all routes are hectic, but taxis drive into oncoming traffic up Kingfisher drive from the bottom of Witkoppen all the way to the top of Kinfisher drive and there are no police present ever to stop it. That road has about 4 or 5 schools in it and soon there is going to be a nasty accident. Law enforcement only manning William Nicol/Kingfisher intersection now and again to stop cars/taxis going through red traffic lights, over barrier lines, so that the cars coming in the opposite direction never get a turn to move into the main road. It causes absolute mayhem and complete stress in the morning and accidents waiting to happen

(RANDBURG, 2018-03-13)

#340

Witkoppen road is a critical feeder road from Fourways and surrounding areas into Sandton.
It is always congested at peak traffic times.
Witkoppen road from Main road to Cambridge road was widened 2 years ago. The double lane the congests into a single lane from Cambridge road to Simba road. The low lying bridges were not addressed and these are dangerous when it rains and cars have been swept away.
Last week there was a head on collision on the single lane section of this road.
The taxi's create a 3rd lane in the morning to get past the severe congestion. this is extremely dangerous for the paedestrians, joggers and cyclists who are on the pavement.
I agree that with significant growth in terms of housing that this situation has deteriorated into a crisis. I am happy to engage to make Johannesburg a safe city for all who live here.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-13)

#343

I live 1 km away from Fourways High and the traffic is so bad that I cannot even drop my child at school at their gate, due to congestion. My son and husband cannot get to the N1 highway for work, in less than 40 minutes !! The traffic is horrendous !

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-13)

#345

It takes me forever to drop my kid off for work. 20/30min for 2km!!!!

(Douglasdale, 2018-03-13)

(Fourways, 2018-03-13)

We have been forced to leave home at 6h00 in the morning in order to avoid the very congested roads. It seems to get worse by the day!

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-13)

#351

The Fourways traffic area is getting worse by the day. With absolutely lawless taxis, traffic lights out often and people ignoring road rules, it's just a mess.

(Joahnnesburg, 2018-03-13)

#352

The traffic around the Fourways area is horrendous. The intersection at Witkoppen and Kingfisher is an absolute nightmare in the mornings as the taxi and other illegal drivers create 3 lanes turning into 1 lane. Please can Metro Police take action!

(Fourways, 2018-03-13)

#356

Some serious consideration of the matter is required as a matter of urgency.

(Sandton, 2018-03-14)

#358

I live in Fourways opposite the Fourways High School, so I live the traffic issues each and every day. There are also no speed humps in Robin Drive which is the main pedestrian gate for the school, and motorists use this road like a race track. Children literally fear for their lives crossing the road.

(Fourways Johannesburg, 2018-03-14)

#359

Traffic is very bad in fourways. Traffic lights go off on a regular basis. I sometimes think its been switched off on purpose so that hawkers can bug you at every robot. Motorist not obeying the road rules. Dangerous for everyone. Taxis are very bad as well going through red robots and driving on the sidewalks, islands etc.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-14)

#369

Traffic has become absolutely horrendous.... Fourways High is 2 km from my house and my work is 11 km away - Rivonia. I leave at 06:15 every morning, drop my son at school and it then takes me an hour and a half to drive 11km. I get to work between 8:00 and 8:15.

(Gauteng, 2018-03-15)

#371

The traffic congestion and lack of working traffic lights is really getting worse. It is consistently grid locked and impossible to navigate the morning traffic.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-15)

#379

I live 7km from work and if I do not leave before 6am, it will take me atleast 45mins to get to work. I am getting desperate. Any improvements in the Fourways area will be greatly appreciated!!

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-16)

#380

I use the Fourways roads on daily basis to get my children to school and hardly ever arrive at work on time due to the congestion.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-16)

#381

My daughter attends Fourways High School and my husband works in the area so they're both exposed to the dangerous morning traffic. I fetch my daughter every afternoon and have the same experience :(

(Randburg, 2018-03-16)

#383

I am signing in because I am a resident in Fourways with a child in Fourways High School. The traffic situation is out of control! It takes on average 45 minutes to 1 hour to do a round trip of less than 8km (Unless I leave at 06:00). My son cannot cycle to school because there are no cycle paths and the roads are extremely dangerous with taxis that use the pavements as roads, and ride up the wrong side of the road into oncoming traffic. Something MUST be done to alleviate the traffic situation and get the taxis to abide by the rules of the road. Illeagal and Ad Hoc taxi stops also addd to the trafdfic situation. Further more, some raids - Roos street as an example, often have such bad potholes that one side of the road is impassable - this causes further congestion. The fact that most traffic lights are out of order also worsens the situation. Something MUST be done!!!!!!

(Fourways, Sandton, 2018-03-19)

#388

Fourways traffic has become gridlocked. Traffic lights often don't work. Taxi drivers are a law onto themselves. Potholes are not being repaired as promptly as when the DA first took over.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-24)

#393

I've witnessed pedestrians come close to being hit almost weekly by Taxis, an hour wait to move 4kms out of the suburb, constant faulty lights. Please assist.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-25)

Traffic in Fourways is absolutely ridiculous and is receiving no attention from government. However approval is constantly given to developers to build more complex’s and houses. Something has to be done
