In addition, the City stated that due to alignment and lighting issues at night, it appears that some of the crashes may have occurred because of oncoming vehicles\u2019 headlights. It is hoped that the barriers will screen these headlights and consequently reduce the number and severity of crashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ MORE |&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news24.com\/news24\/community-newspaper\/tygerburger\/traffic-circle-concerns-bothsig-traffic-circle-need-flashing-warning-lights-20240221\" target=\"_blank\">Traffic circle concerns: \u2018Bothsig traffic circle need flashing warning lights\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFurthermore, the City informed us that at a recent discussion with their transport engineering consultants \u2013 who have just completed a nationwide study of larger traffic circles and roundabouts for Sanral \u2013 it was confirmed that restricting sight distances on the approaches is the preferred and safer method, as it forces motorists to adopt slower approach speeds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe measures implemented at De Grendel Avenue traffic circle are therefore in line with this latest research and thinking,\u201d Borchards says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Residents have stated that the plastic barriers are a bit high, and visibility of the cars in the circle is not great when entering the circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_029662c9\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/12080\/599dcfaa17134a11a0e790b6440fd0ec.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/5b4567061f7c4d85ae0b69f4d394de07.jpg\" title=\"The circle has been a topic of discussion for some time due to safety concerns.

The visibility at night is better than previously, he explains. \u201cIn March 2024, I sent an email to Subcouncil 3 regarding the issues at the circle, and on Plattekloof Road. While many responses were received, the placement of the plastic barriers was the first tangible difference observed,\u201d Borchards says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-city-responds\">City responds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Rob Quintas, Mayco member for urban mobility, was also approached for comment, and asked what development had taken place, since the last time issues were raised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He explained the safety measures in place, and why this option was decided on. \u201cThe City has identified headlight glare from oncoming traffic as a major contributing factor to motorists not \u2018seeing\u2019 De Grendel central island. We have therefore installed yellow plastic barriers with the aim to firstly improve the visibility of the central circle by way of the yellow barriers and retroflective tape applied to them and secondly, screen the headlights of oncoming traffic<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThus far we are satisfied that the barriers have achieved both above-mentioned objectives. Furthermore, if the circle is approached with caution, as one should, there is sufficient sight distance of other traffic in the circulating roadway to safely identify gaps and enter the roundabout,\u201d Quintas says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ MORE |&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news24.com\/news24\/community-newspaper\/tygerburger\/one-person-killed-in-another-accident-at-notorious-traffic-circle-in-bothasig-20240320\" target=\"_blank\">One person killed in another accident at notorious traffic circle in Bothasig<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research shows that where there is excessive sight distance, motorists tend to \u201cattack\u201d the circle at speed, whereas with limited sight distance, motorists are forced to approach with due caution, he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe plastic barriers are ultimately portable and are removeable. We would however like to leave these measures in place to give this trial a reasonable period of time to gauge their impact on traffic safety.
