The situation in Jan Smuts Avenue connecting Rosebank to Hyde Park is reaching dangerous proportions. The capacity of a road of single lanes north/south and vice versa is being tested, as it has now become a three to four-lane situation, creating a very stressful motoring experience. And I have to reluctantly use this road on a daily basis.
This is not helped by the reckless driving of the ‘taxi clan’, especially doing a flip at the Bompas intersection, where a right-hand turn is resolved by pushing into the law abiding motorists’ lane, heading north.
How do we as motorists convince the Johannesburg Roads Agency to widen this section of Jan Smuts Avenue, thus providing a stress-free experience for us, the poor motorists?
At Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention. Happy reading!
