UPGRADING OF INTERSECTIONS FOR NON-MOTORIZED TRANSPORT PROJECT
The Cape Winelands District Municipality has awarded a tender for a Non-Motorized Transport project for Pionier School, which includes upgrades to three intersections and the construction of several traffic-calming structures. The affected intersections—Tulbagh/Adderley, Tulbagh/Porter, and Porter/Church Streets—will experience changes to traffic flow during the six-month construction period.
From 4 November to 13 December 2024, upgrades will take place at the Tulbagh/Adderley Street intersection. Construction will cause some inconvenience, and we ask the public to follow traffic signals and comply with the instructions of traffic officials to ensure smooth traffic management in the area. Attached images provide an overview of closures and traffic flow changes.

This follows incidents of stone-throwing and attacks on motorists on and near the N2 in recent months.

On 3 November, a 55-year-old tourist from Connecticut in the US was shot in the face and robbed soon after leaving Cape Town International Airport. A navigation app on his phone reportedly indicated that the most direct route to Cape Town was through the Nyanga township, News24 reported.

At Monday’s signing of the agreement, Mokoena said Google had been in touch with city officials and had identified crime hotspots. These included Nyanga and the intersection at the airport, which would soon no longer be recommended by Google as the fastest routes to the city.
