Promenade for People, Not Scooters - Keep the Promenade Safe
The Issue
The Sea Point Promenade has always been a place of peace , where families stroll, joggers run, and children play against the backdrop of the ocean.
This safety is under threat. as increasing numbers of e‑scooters and e‑motorbikes are speeding along pedestrian pavements, violating the National Road Traffic Act and endangering walkers, especially the elderly and young children.
What was once a family‑friendly space is becoming hazardous. Near‑misses and serious incidents are rising, and urgent action is needed to protect pedestrians.
We call on local authorities to:
· Ban e‑scooters and e‑motorbikes from using pedestrian pavements and the Promenade.
· Enforce strict penalties for violations.
· Install clear signage to remind all users of the rules.
This is not about limiting enjoyment — it’s about restoring safety and ensuring the Promenade remains a haven for everyone.
Your signature can help protect our community’s most vulnerable members and preserve the character of one of Cape Town’s most cherished public spaces.
