Too many accidents at this specific intersection have claimed and mained too many lives already and it can be easily prevented. Traffic on this road has increased drastically in the last 12 years that I have lived here and have had to use that intersection myself, and it is not getting better. People are speeding up the hill from the traffic lights on the corner of Hendrik Potgieter and Jim Fouche and have reached speeds in excess of 100km an hour in a 60km an hour zone. By the time they reach that intersection, they can't stop! The same is true for the cars comming down the hill in Jim Fouche. They gather alarming speeds down the hill and it makes for very bad accidents there, as the person tying to join Jim Fouche often don't see them before they are right on top of them! Most of the accidents occur during the morning peak traffic hours when people are late for work or for schools. They take the "short cut" through Constantia Drive to join the other main roads in the area, so us trying to join from the Constantia Drive direction, never get a chance. It is either the ones comming down the hill, going up the hill or those trying to rush across from opposite Constantia Drive that all have right of way! This causes extreme frustration and the drivers then take chances by jumping in front of oncomming traffic! PLEASE HELP US!!!!!
