The Issue

In memory of a family tragically lost at what locals know as the "Crossing of Death", and as a beacon of hope for future safety, we pen this petition. Just yesterday, a father was robbed of his entire family in yet another heart-wrenching incident at this crossing. The cruel reality is that too many lives have been lost at this crossing (R312 and R304) and it stands testament to the urgent need for proper traffic regulation.

Local newspaper headlines and eyewitness accounts affirm the danger that this crossing poses. Despite public outcry, we lack even essential traffic calming measures such as a traffic light and a permanent speed camera.

As a community, we cannot stand by as more lives are claimed by this notorious crossing.

Today, we plea to the local government and transport authorities to act urgently. We urge the implementation of a traffic light and a permanent speed camera at this crossing. Every signature on this petition is a voice screaming for change, a cry to prevent more loss, and a step towards making our community safer. Please stand with us in making a difference. Sign this petition today.
