Nog \u2019n vragmotor het Donderdag 18 Julie in die Bainskloofpas vasgesit en die pad versper ondanks verkeersre\u00ebls wat swaarvoertuie in die pas verbied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vragmotormaatskappye en -bestuurders wat die re\u00ebls verontagsaam en kortpad deur Bainskloof kies, ten koste van die skilderagtige, historiese pas, is lankal vir belangegroepe \u2019n probleem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die organisasie wat tot in 2017 probeer het om die Bainskloofpas te beskerm, die Vriende van Bainskloofpas, se stigter, Sieg Kr\u00f6ger van Wellington, s\u00ea die pas word te veel misbruik en te min plaaslike rolspelers toon belangstelling om dit te help beskerm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoewel die organisasie ontbind is en hul geld wat oorgebly het aan Cape Nature geskenk is, is Kr\u00f6ger steeds \u2019n kenner wat bekommerd is oor die skade wat die pas aangerig word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy is van mening dat polisi\u00ebring om verkeer in die pas te reguleer skraps is. Owerhede doen ook te min opvolgwerk oor die toestand van die pas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vragmotors wat die pad onwettig gebruik is volgens hom ietwat meer onder beheer as in die verlede, maar hy s\u00ea \u2019n mens kan aan die randstene sien dat daar steeds vragmotors is wat die pas gebruik en beskadig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy verduidelik dat \u2019n 9 m lange vragmotor met 26 wiele nie de pas se skerp draaie kan maak nie en beskryf dit as \u201cabsoluut gevaarlik\u201d vir so \u2019n vragmotor om dit aan te durf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kr\u00f6ger s\u00ea vragmotors gebruik die pas as \u2019n korter alternatief oor die berge asook \u2019n goedkoper alternatief vir die duur tolpad op die N1 deur die Hugenotetonnel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is nie die eerste keer dat Paarl Post <\/i>oor vragmotors in die Bainskloofpas berig nie. In 2009 het \u2019n vragmotor wat \u2019n u-draai in die pas probeer maak het, veroorsaak dat die pas vir \u2019n halwe dag gesluit moes word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die jaar vantevore is berig oor vragmotors wat vrag in die pas se skerp draaie verloor het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kr\u00f6ger is verder bekommerd oor rommel wat langs die pad gestrooi word \u2013 op die oog af lyk dit nie so erg nie, maar sodra \u2019n mens teen die kranse afkyk, l\u00ea vullis die pas vol. \u201cEk probeer maar mooi met mense praat oor rommelstrooi,\u201d s\u00ea hy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cape Nature s\u00ea hulle \u201cveroordeel die gebruik van die pas deur swaar motorvoertuie in die sterkste sin van die woord\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die organisasie herinner die publiek dat die hele Bainskloofpas \u2019n nasionale monument is en as deel van Suid-Afrika se erfenis bewaar word. Wanneer vragmotors omval, stort hulle diesel en besoedel hul vragte die natuur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die organisasie s\u00ea strenger maatre\u00ebls is nodig, soos boetes wat oortreders opgel\u00ea word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cape Nature glo ook die Suid-Afrikaanse Erfenishulpbronne-agentskap behoort \u2019n groter rol te speel om die pas te beskerm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Paarl Post <\/i>het navrae aan die provinsiale verkeershoof, Kenny Africa, gerig maar het teen druktyd geen terugvoering ontvang nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
