Traffic plan implemented for Durban beachfront visitors
Vehicle access to the beach will be controlled when it is necessary to alleviate possible gridlock.
eThekwini Municipality mayor, Mxolisi Kaunda, officially launched the City’s comprehensive Festive Season Management Plan at the Durban Exhibition Centre recently saying Durban was ready to welcome multitudes of holidaymakers, Northglen News reports.
The municipality has allocated huge resources both human and financial for the successful implementation of the plan. This festive season management plan, which is currently being implemented, will be in place up until the reopening of schools in January 2020 and beyond.
To minimise traffic congestion at the beachfront, Metro Police will enforce a traffic management plan.
The City will once again implement the Park and Ride system that will be based at the old Drive-In site.
Visitors will then be ferried to the beach via shuttles and no taxis and buses will be allowed on the beachfront.
Vehicle access to the beach will be controlled when it is necessary to alleviate possible gridlock. The Municipality is also communicating with body corporates and hotels along the beachfront to issue permits for residents.
