Receiving comments and suggestions from these communities is a vital aspect of our planning process and I urge residents to take a look at the plans on the City\u2019s website and not to hesitate to make contact with us should they have any questions or comments,\u201d said the City\u2019s Mayco member for urban mobility, Rob Quintas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In reaction to this, the Managing Director of Young Urbanists Roland Postma shared statistics regarding road safety in Cape Town, where over 55 000 crashes occurred in 2021 alone, leading to more than 700 fatalities and over 7 000 injuries annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Young Urbanists NPC is a community aimed at individuals who have an interest in their city and want to be more engaged stakeholders in the future. Young Urbanists also believe in change and as such have co-founded the AMF and the Safe Passage Programme which is South Africa\u2019s first public and private partnership programme to connect informal to formal areas. They have raised over a million rands to upgrade infrastructure to make it safer for NMT users.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_60246c3c\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/9973\/e82429c8837c4926b46561008eee8854.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/afa9327716584f6788605e70d9f74479.jpg\" title=\"The Young Urbanists in partnership with the AMF, have created templates for residents to provide suggestions for the call by the City to promote safer roads.

AMF is the main group to bring all the diverse voices around active mobility under one banner to work with the government and other stakeholders to make all forms of active mobility (e.g. walking, cycling, skating, walking combined with public transport) more viable and safer alternatives to private transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a partnership driven by Young Urbanists and the Bicycle Mayor, Sindile Mavundla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Postma added to the statistics cited by saying: \u201cA striking 60-70% of these fatalities are pedestrians, underscoring the urgent need for intervention to safer designed streets. If we continue to design roads to look like the gun of a barrel, people will be speeding like bullets,\u201d noted Postma. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith more than half of all victims under the age of 35, and the economic toll exceeding R5,4 billion last year, the time to act is now,\u201d he said, pointing to the City\u2019s request for innovative solutions across three key themes: the safety of pedestrians and non-motorised transport users, passenger safety and motorist safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As such, to empower community participation, the Young Urbanists and AMF have developed a specialised template to assist in formulating submissions for theme one \u2013 Road Safety for Pedestrians and other non-motorised transport users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe urge the public to use this new tool by the City\u2019s stakeholders to tell the City what safer streets look like for our children, for cycling and public transportation. We need to move past just having speed bumps and only being able to ask for them near schools. We need a complete revamp of the Traffic Calming policy and this public process is the right tool to do so,\u201d added Mavundla, Bicycle Mayor of Cape Town and chair of the AMF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Their template for residents to comment on Road Safety for Pedestrians and other non-motorised transport users can be accessed <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/12S-TSjWnQ1eBFH_4G04VNkQHctgMSKYS8ReZGjBIT6E\/edit?pli=1#gid=0\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submit ideas <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flui.city\/capetown\/posts\/65606-road-safety-in-cape-town\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_9c3a77fb\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/9973\/3de3ff5f612f4025a77eef74bf518b1d.jpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/e48b37cc9bcc43eeb3f6b1122e37b44f.jpeg\" title=\"Young Urbanists NPC is a community aimed at individuals who have an interest in their city and want to be more engaged stakeholders in the future.
