Hazardous intersections

(Midrand, 2017-06-20)

#3

I'm signing because I use this road every morning and it is always difficult to turn into olifantsfontein road. There has been a number of car accidents there. I see the place as dangerous and traffic lights are a necessity to control traffic.

It is dangerous to cross this road and sometimes leaves us waiting for up to an hour waiting to cross when it is safe. It will also slow speeding cars down if a robot was instolled and creat more safety. Even people try to cross risking lives!!!!!!

I use the intersection turning into Olifantsfontien daily to go to work and have seen a couple of accidents taking place. It's not a safe turn to use.

I am sick of putting my pregnant girl friend and my self on danger every time we try cross this intersection

(Midrand, 2017-06-20)

#19

I support the initiative. We need the traffic lights.

(Midrand, 2017-06-20)

#20

I use this road every day, my husband was involved in a car accident on this same road

(Johannesburg, 2017-06-20)

#21

I support the installation of traffic lights between Summit road and Plantation road in Midrand.

(Midrand, 2017-06-20)

#24

I also use the road on a daily basis when going to work, a traffic is needed as soon as possible.

(Midrand, 2017-06-20)

#27

I use this junction almost everyday and it's risky getting onto Summit Road because of approaching vehicles that travel at high speeds.

(Midrand, 2017-06-20)

#29

I hope something gets done !

(Midrand, 2017-06-20)

#32

This intersection is extremely busy and dangerous in peak hour traffic.

(Midrand, 2017-06-20)

#33

Risky to turn right towards the N1 Freeway

(Midrand, 2017-06-20)

#38

I am signing because traffic lights are really needed at the specified road.

(Midrand, 2017-06-21)

#40

I live in the area.

(Midrand, 2017-06-21)

#42

It takes way too long to cross that road and it's also very unsafe.

(Johannesburg, 2017-06-21)

Heavy Traffic to join into Olifantsfontein

(Johannesburg, 2017-06-21)

(Midrand, 2017-06-21)

This corner is a death trap with accidents happening every week. We have to cross this intersection daily from Plantation and live in fear daily, especially peak hours!!!

(Midrand, 2017-06-21)

#48

Our lifes are at risk

(Gauteng, 2017-06-21)

#49

I'm signing because we desperately need a traffic light at the intersection of summit road and plantation road. We are bound to lose lives if nothing is done. I am behind this proactive approach 100%.

(Midrand, 2017-06-21)

#50

It is a dangerous intersection. Where Ive seen accidents happen, and my husband and myself almost had a few close calls at tis intersection too.

(Midrand, 2017-06-21)

#51

The intersection is highly dangerous without the traffic lights. People need to get onto Olifantsfontein Road on a daily basis and do so at the risk of losing their lives.

(Midrand, 2017-06-21)

#52

That is a very busy road and safety is important to me

(Midrand, 2017-06-21)

#53

That road to try and turn off or even onto it is a nightmare let alone does no one obey the speed

(Midrand, 2017-06-21)

#55

There have been a countless number of fatal accidents involving pedestrians & vehicles

(Midrand Johannesburg, 2017-06-21)

This intersection is dangerous, by installing traffic lights it will ease traffic and save lives.

(Midrand, 2017-06-21)

#70

(midrand, 2017-06-21)

It's very difficult for us to turn, and have seen lives being lost when trying to cross

(Midrand, 2017-06-21)

(Midrand, 2017-06-21)

#85

It is a dangerous intersection and the lack of adequate law enforcement, safety of residents - pedestrians and motorists - is of paramount importance to me and needs to be addressed

(Johannesburg, 2017-06-21)

#88

That intersection is extremely dangerous, installing a few traffic lights to save lives is a very good trade off.

(Bluehills Midrand, 2017-06-21)

It is a very dangerous stop street to cross.

(Midrand, 2017-06-21)

#92

I often use this intersection and as discribed above this is a very busy and dangerous intersection! Vehicles speeding on Summit road make it worse!

(Midrand, 2017-06-21)

#94

This is one of the busiest intersections during peak traffic. Crossing over into Summit road from Plantation, is a nightmare and near impossible, especially in peak traffic. Accidents occur on a regular basis. It's a death trap and needs traffic lights for sure.

(Midrand, 2017-06-21)

#98

We use this crossing multiple times per day. We often see people getying hurt !!! WE NEED A TRAFFIC LIGHT HERE!!!!!

(Midrand, 2017-06-21)

(Kyalami, 2017-06-21)

#103

I have to cross this intersection everyday and do not feel safe at all. I have seen many accidents nearly happen and have seen others actually happen. This is a very dangerous intersection and needs robots urgently!

(Johannesburg, 2017-06-21)

#104

I'm signing because there is a great need for a traffic light. This should assist with traffic jams and accidents which are a regular occurance.

(Midrand, 2017-06-21)

#105

The area has become very built up resulting in an alarming increase in the surrounding roads. Traffic lights are urgently needed to avoid the probability of fatal car accidents.

(Vorna Valley, 2017-06-21)

#106

It's a very dangerous intersection nothing more!

(Johannesburg, 2017-06-21)

#107

I have seen so many accidents at this junction. As a wheelchair user it is very difficult junction for me to turn right from Plantation as I use hand controls. To turn right I must first turn left and then do a u turn at Build it which is dangerous. With traffic light I could turn right normally. Pls pls put lights in before more people die - next time it might be me, and my children still need me. Thankyou

The intersection is dangerous whether you are turning left or right onto Olifantsfontein. Also during peak hours it is very difficult to turn right due to the traffic flow both ways

I use that road often and it can be quite difficult getting on to Olifantsfontein rd with very little view for the person turning

(Midrand, 2017-06-22)

It is extremely dangerous to join Plantation road during peak traffic. There are cars traveling at high speed from both directions

(Johannesburg, 2017-06-22)

#180

This road is extremely dangerous to the point that we are not even prepared to use it and would rather travel some 2km out of our way to avoid it at all costs! There will be a serious accident here if nothing is done about it! I have already sent emails to the various bodies regarding having a traffic light installed at this intersection but have not received a response

(Midrand, 2017-06-23)

#188

I use the road on a daily basis to go to Blue Hills Mall from Summerset or to go work in Pretoria via the R55. I have witnessed many horrible accidents on this intersection and was almost hit once. Summit road curves on the right so visibility is poor and its very risky to turn even when there's not much traffic. Please help provide safe access on this intersection and save lives.

(Midrand, 2017-06-23)

(Noordwyk, 2017-06-23)
