Do something about Kempton’s killer roads

I am honestly very worried to be a road user in Kempton Park, as you never know when you or your family is going to be the next victim.

Week after week we must read in Kempton Express of somebody’s farther, child or mother who got killed on Kempton Park roads.

This is not even on the main routes, but in our suburbs.

There is just one reason for that. People think it is their constitutional right to ignore a red traffic light and a stop street. It is becoming an epidemic.

If our traffic police is not going to enforce the law, there is going to be much more killings on our roads, but then again I saw a traffic police car this morning (January 6) that skipped a stop street on Monument Road and it was not an emergency.

His lights where not on and you could see he was not in a hurry. If our officers of the law cannot obey the rules, what hope is there for us?

They are only focusing on speed because it is easy to set up a speed camera. They should sit at traffic lights and stop streets and pull over the people not stopping, and they must issue heavy fines.

They can start on the corner of Olienhout and Vosloo streets in Birchleigh. I am honestly very worried to be a road user in Kempton Park, as you never know when you or your family is going to be the next victim.

At Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention. Happy reading!
