DIE dorp is steeds in rep en roer oor die gewaande sonde met die taxi\u2019s wat verlede week ontbrand het nadat \u2019n bejaarde Jeffreysbaai-inwoner in die parkeergebied van die Fountains Mall deur \u2019n ongelisensieerde bestuurder met sy voertuig gestamp en erg beseer is.<\/p>\n
Uiteenlopende menings vlieg oor en weer, maar daar is klaarheid oor seker aspekte van sake wat geopper word.<\/p>\n
\u2019n Gemeenskapsgroep het verlede week met sentrumbestuurder Sonja Allsop en andere vergader. Die publiek en besoekers se veiligheid en insidente met taxibestuurders, asook die moontlike implementering van stra-tegiese oplossings, is bespreek. <\/p>\n
Die bestuurder het versoek dat die voorgelegde taxi-verwante kwessies skriftelik gerig moet word. <\/p>\n
Wat wel belig is, is dat stewige stappe reeds gedoen is om die oortreders hok te slaan. <\/p>\n
Vroe\u00ebr vanjaar het Britz Attorneys \u2018\u2019n finale hofbevel bekom waarin ge-stipuleer word dat slegs geregistreerde operateurs van die Humansdorp Taxi Association met lisensies van en op vasgestelde roetes deur die provisiale Departement van Vervoer in die Kouga Munisipaliteit mag werk.<\/p>\n
Hierdeur kon die Ncedu Service Taxi Association verbied word om parkeerareas van die plaaslike en Shoprite-sentrum op Humansdorp onwettiglik as taxi-punte en staanplekke te gebruik.<\/p>\n
Die probleem blyk nie die geregistreerde bestuurders te wees nie, maar die \u201csweepers\u201d wat passasiers vinnig opraap waar hulle ook al staanplek sien. Dit is glo ook die ongelisensieerdes wat amok maak op die paaie.<\/p>\n
Volgens Allsop kan die bestuur van Fountains Mall bevestig dat \u2019n toegewyde taxi op- en aflaaisone met \u2019n aparte ingang- en uitgangspunt na 18 suksesvolle onderderhandelinge met die burgemeester, die Kouga-munisipaliteitspan, en die Humansdorp Taxivereniging deur al die betrokke partye op Woensdag, 18 September aanvaar is. .<\/p>\n
\u201cOns doel is om almal in die gemeenskap te ondersteun en die veil-igheid van ons kli\u00ebnte te verseker,\u201d s\u00ea Allsop. <\/p>\n
Kouga Gemeenskapsdienste-portefeuljeraadslid Daniel Benson, s\u00ea: \u201cDie Kouga-munisipaliteit het \u2019n regsmening verkry wat bevestig dat ons wel teen diegene wat die verkeerswette by Fountains Mall oortree, kan optree. <\/p>\n
\u201cDie munisipale verkeersdepartement sal dus gereeld by die sentrum wees, om te verseker dat taxi\u2019s binne die wet optree.<\/p>\n
\u201cTwaalf boetes wat tesame R14 700 beloop, is verlede week aan taxidrywers uitgereik.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chris Scott het in \u2019n skrywe oor die toepassing van regulasies geopper. <\/p>\n
Hy beklemtoon dat die re\u00ebls wel in plek gestel is \u2013 wat beteken dat die sentrumbestuur wil toon dat hulle omgee en die situasie wil oplos. <\/p>\n
Hy vergelyk die huidige stand van sake met \u2019n hond wat byt sonder tande. \u201cGeen regulasies sal werk as dit nie toegepas word nie.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEk het \u2019n konfrontasie met \u2019n taxibestuurder gehad wat my byna omgery het. Skielik was daar drie ander bestuurders om my. Dit is verstaanbaar dat die sekuriteit nie graag in so \u2018n potensi\u00eble geveg wil beland nie. Maar dit neem daadwerklike optrede om die wet effektief toe te pas.\u201d<\/p>\n
In \u2019n brief aan die Kouga Express<\/i> skryf \u2019n inwoner onder die skuilnaam, Anti-taxigeweld, oor al die reeds-gemelde oortredings van verkeersregulasies deur die gewraakte taxibestuurders. Hy noem verder dat \u201cdit verder opmerklik is dat die taxibestuurders kortpaaie kies deur op sypaadjies te ry, deur vulstasies te jaag asook deur die parkeerarea van die winkelsentrum in Da Gamaweg met min of geen inagneming van voetgangers\u201d. <\/p>\n
Hy eggo padgebruikers deur te hoop dat daar in die toekoms \u2019n beter gedragspatroon tevoorskyn sal kom wat tot elkeen se voordeel sal wees en dat verkeersowerhede hulle meer sal toespits op die gedrag van die taxibestuurders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
