Why people sign

It is because we want to get help with an issue of robort on R56 road next to Supar Spar.
I think a better solution on that they must introduce speed humps before robort

I am signing this petition because the R56 road has become dangerous for students and other road users.
A student was hit by a car, and the lack of proper speed humps is a serious safety concern.
Speed humps could help reduce vehicles' speed and prevent similar accidents.
We need urgent action to make the road safer for students and pedestrians.
I support this petition because every life matters and safety should come first.

It will help provide a safety road for the community to utilise

One of our school mates has lost his life on this road

Safety precautions of the car accident that take place
It’s a safety hazard that should be implemented in the Neighborhood
