New traffic management centre for Cape Town 10/30/2008 7:17:41 AM

The City of Cape Town is investing 130 million rand to improve traffic safety.

Road accidents in the Cape have increased from 60 thousand to 85 thousand in the last 10 years.

A new transport management centre will be built in Goodwood, which will house the city's CCTV system, emergency services and traffic services.

The new centre will look to better manage any emergency situations all the way from Atlantis to the Helderberg.

The centre is expected to be completed by mid-2010.

Is it likely that the brt control room will be housed here?

I'm assuming all City run transport infrastructure will be managed from this centre. It's awesome to see Cape Town taking on a European-city-view of public transit and not perpetuating the "American city model" of cars cars roads and cars. It's only a matter of a couple years before CT will have a fully integrated, safe, fast public transit system.

Now we just have to keep the DA/ID coalition in power to make sure things don't sink before the ship sails!!!

Building starts on CTN transport centre

Construction started on Cape Town's R130-million transport management centre on Friday, the city said.

Mayoral Committee member for transport, roads and stormwater Elizabeth Thompson turned the first sod in Goodwood.

The centre would manage traffic on the city's freeways and arterial road network during the 2010 Soccer World Cup and beyond.

"When complete, this building will provide the city of Cape Town and its partners with a world class traffic management facility and system," Thompson said in a statement.

From inside the building roads would be monitored and accidents and traffic problems detected via real time video and surveillance cameras.

"For far too long there have been talks of better management of public transport and commuter traffic on our roads."

The centre would put Cape Town on par with international best practice in transport and traffic management. - Sapa

This is not the Transport Management Centre in Goodwood.
This is the Shared Public Transport Services building in Athlone.

Mo Rush · July 7th, 2009, 09:17 PM
