Death trap, not a road

Susan Lombard writes that she travel every morning from Diepsloot on the R562 to work (Summit or Olifants Road), and it is a disaster as people drive like maniacs.

From Savanna Estate, the nightmare begins. Taxis and other vehicles just decide to drive on the side of the road and pedestrians must jump out of the way.

It is one big dust cloud; a small stone has cracked our windscreen.

Nearly every day there is an accident on this road as people try to stop taxis by putting big stones on the side of the road, but they just stop and move them out of the way.

These people have no respect for law-abiding citizens, who wait patiently to get through the traffic.

If the traffic light at Lever Road is out of order, then there is even more havoc.

There must be something that the Johannesburg Roads Agency can do about this problem… and where is the Metro police?

How can we pay e-tolls if the roads that we travel on every day to and from work are dangerous?

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