Hi everyone,
Great news — the City of Cape Town has formally approved the raised intersection at Martingale/Valley ✅.

The next step is for the ward to allocate funds, with the cost estimated at around R200,000. This is expected to be discussed in the coming weeks, and I’ll share an update as soon as we have clarity.

Thanks again for all the support — your voices really made a difference in getting this approved 👏.

We’re pleased to share that Desré Liebenberg, Assistant Chief of Traffic Operations for the City of Cape Town, has formally requested Stop Sign enforcement at the intersection of Martingale Avenue and Valley Road, near the entrance to World of Birds.

This official action adds further weight to our petition for a raised intersection at this location — an area of ongoing concern for residents, businesses, and visitors alike.

🕒 Just 2 days left before the petition closes and is submitted to the City. If you haven’t signed yet, now’s the time — and please rally the troops! Every signature strengthens our case for safer streets.

Thank you to everyone supporting this important initiative.

Today, in the course of the morning, I requested Cape Town Metropolitan Police to conduct a formal traffic inspection at the intersection of Martingale and Valley Road.

During a 30-minute observation, officers issued five fines to motorists for failing to stop at the stop sign, and several others received verbal warnings and were educated on proper procedures when approaching a stop-controlled intersection.

I have requested that Metro Police return during peak traffic hours to gather additional data and further verify the ongoing non-compliance reported by residents.

This data will be added to the case that was officially opened with Cape Town Metro Police, and will form part of the supporting documentation to be submitted with this petition to the Ward Councillors and the City’s Roads & Transport Directorate.

Thank you to all who have supported the petition so far. Please continue to share it — the more voices we have, the stronger our call for safer streets in Hout Bay.
