Our community in Plumstead is facing a serious and urgent issue: reckless drivers are speeding down Princess Vlei Road, endangering both our beloved pets and our residents. This road is not just any street; it is a vibrant part of our community where school children walk to school, dog walkers enjoy their daily strolls, and the elderly pass by on their way to meet friends or run errands. Unfortunately, the current situation on this road puts all these lives at risk.

Recently, there have been numerous heart-wrenching incidents of pets being run over by speeding cars. Our furry friends, who bring joy and companionship to our homes, are being lost to preventable accidents. It’s not just pets, though; imagine the heartbreak of a family whose child is injured, or worse, due to a reckless driver on this road. We must take immediate action to prevent such a tragedy from occurring in our community.

Statistics show that speed bumps effectively reduce vehicle speed and enhance safety in residential areas. According to the Institute of Transportation Engineers, the average speed reduction due to speed bumps is between 20% and 25%. This significant decrease in speed could mean the difference between life and death for one of our community members or their beloved pets.

By installing speed bumps along Princess Vlei Road, we can create a safer environment for everyone. Not only will it protect our kids and pets, but it will also encourage drivers to be more cautious and keep our streets safe. We urge local authorities to prioritize this request and act swiftly to prevent further harm.

Join us in making our community safer, more livable, and more connected. Sign this petition to demand the immediate installation of speed bumps on Princess Vlei Road. Together, we can protect what we hold dear and foster a community that values safety and respect for all.

Many thanks
