Cape Town residents have until 8 June 2026 to comment on the City’s draft Road Safety Strategy, as officials seek public input on plans to make the city’s roads safer.
The City’s Urban Mobility Directorate said this is part of an updated strategy intended to reduce accidents and loss of life, with a greater focus on pedestrians, cyclists, public transport users and schoolchildren.
The draft strategy replaces the City’s previous Road Safety Strategy, which covered the period up to 2018 and focused mostly on law enforcement, driver behaviour and reducing crashes through traditional road safety measures.
“We developed the draft Road Safety Strategy through a collaborative process that included the 2023 ‘Call for Ideas: Road Safety Campaign’, which gathered public insights and perceptions on road safety in Cape Town,” the City said.
The City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Rob Quintas, urged residents to participate in the public consultation process.
“We ask that residents review the draft strategy and provide their valuable comments by 8 June 2026. Road safety affects everyone and is a key priority for us, we want to ensure that we make every effort to improve road safety for all in Cape Town,” he said.
