| GLUCOSE
ROAD, BELLVILLE SOUTH |
The
CID closed off Glucose Road with a 2.2m high precast wall.
People were entering the CID area and crossing the
railway line with trolleys which posed a safety threat.
This road was also used as an escape route for criminals,
a dumping site, and burning of copper took place almost
on a daily basis.

The CID submitted a request to
the Head of the Transport Network Development and
the following Traffic calming measures were implemented:
|
| At
the intersection of Electron & Peter Barlow Roads
two side road junction warning signs were erected
and appropriate road markings were implemented. The
reason for implementing these measures was due to
the high accident risk. |
|
|
Due to the high
volume pedestrians in Bridge Road, pedestrian parallel
lines were implemented near the intersection of Bridge
& Peter Barlow Roads and another at the intersection
of Bridge and Proton Roads. |
|

speeding and the high volume of pedestrians in Bridge
Road four 60km “speed limit” boards were
erected. |
