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.
