FACILITATING DUAL ZONES
High Pedestrian activity was noted throughout the Community by the Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) and City of Johannesburg (CoJ) recently
In particular outside of the four registered Pre-Schools located in Jukskei Avenue Umgeni Crescent Satara Avenue and Chabad Road and at all five Closures and in the Streets surrounding the Community-created Parks
Attention was also given to the morning and evening Pedestrian traffic to and from the Chabad of Sandton as well as the increased pedestrian traffic on Friday evenings and Saturday mornings This Pedestrian traffic is not limited to our community streets but also to Bowling Avenue and surrounds
Although Warning Signs for Pedestrian activity already exist within the Suburb the Representatives from JRA and CoJ pointed out that the Road Traffic Act makes specific provisions for DUAL ZONES being both Pedestrian and Vehicle traffic as well as for HIGH PEDESTRIAN ACTIVITY outside of Schools places of Worship etc
We have been encouraged to investigate the matter further and implement the Regulation Signage to reinforce the existing Signage with their sanction
STOP STREETS AND SECURITY CONTROL POINTS
With a special thanks to those who first implemented our Closures we are one of the very few Approved Road Closures that enjoy JRA approved STOP STREETS and duly constituted SECURITY CONTROL POINTS at both our Boom Entrances
This means that all Vehicles are legally obliged to STOP at our Boom EntrancesSecurity Control Points in terms of the Road Traffic Act and why we are able to greet Visitors and ask if they require directions to their destination
Usually in terms of the Security Access Restriction Policy stopping anyone at a Boom Entrance is prohibited as Personnel manning the Control Points may not delay traffic other than the absolute minimum required to open any Boom Many Closures including those around us have applied to install STOP STREETS and SECURITY CONTROL POINTS but unfortunately have been declined by the JRA and CoJ
During our most recent Application for the Renewal of the Security Access Restrictions (Road Closures) the Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) and City of Johannesburg (CoJ) noted that some of our Residents ndash clearly identified by their Residents Stickers ndash in most cases failed to STOP at the Stop Streets located at the Boom
If we lose these Rights our Access Control Measures will be weakened as we will be instructed to merely raise the Boom when any Vehicle approaches and we will not have any right to enquire of a Vehicle entering our Community on their destination
In a nutshell we have been officially cautioned that we cannot have it both ways Security Access Restrictions cannot apply or practice any discrimination and as such WE NEED TO ALL PLEASE ADHERE TO THE STOP STREETS AT OUR SECURITY CONTROL POINTS

My City of Gold J o h a n n e s b u r g
Johannesburg was founded on 4 October 1886 In a matter of only 10 years the city grew to 100 000 inhabitants
150 years later The greater area of Egoli has over 8 million residents making it the largest city in South Africa
Cairo in Egypt is the one city on the African continent that is bigger than Jozi
As one of the worldrsquos leading financial centres as well as the economic and financial hub of South Africa Joburg produces 16 of the countryrsquos gross domestic product
The Chris Hani-Baragwanath Hospital is the largest acute hospital in the world (and the third largest overall) with over 3200 beds 6760 staff members and 429 buildings It is the only public hospital serving the 35 million people living in Soweto
OR Tambo International Airport ndash named after the famous former leader of the African National Congress ndash is the biggest and busiest airport on the continent of Africa with an estimate of 28 million passengers passing through its terminals every year
Within one century Johannesburg has been rebuilt four times once a tented camp then a tin shanty town then four-storey Edwardian brick buildings and now a city of modern skyscrapers
Johannesburg is the worldrsquos biggest man-made forest with over 10 million trees
At 269m high the Hillbrow Tower is the tallest structure in Johannesburg
Johannesburg is the worlds largest city not built on a coastline or on a lake or river Thatrsquos why Joburg is also called the worldrsquos biggest dry port
