Chaos caused by reckless taxi drivers continue unabated in Kraaifontein, particularly on the very busy corner of Van Riebeeck Road and Ninth Avenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey drive on the wrong side of the road into oncoming traffic to skip the queue and push other cars off the road to cross the intersection,\u201d says concerned motorist Rendy Kruger who uses the road every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More dangerously, the taxi drivers give no head to red traffic lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kruger says this has caused much friction between other motorists and taxi dri\u00advers who display an aggressive driving style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery day I\u2019m afraid that a violent clash of road rage will erupt between taxi drivers and motorists, she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kruger herself has opted to drive a detour around Brackenfell Industria, adding many kilometres to her route each day to escape this chaos. Kruger has reported this to traffic and law enforcement authorities almost weekly since last year November, but says little has changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt one point I took photos and phoned the traffic department every day, all to no avail. I receive SMSs from the City telling me the complaint is being attended to, but I don\u2019t see anything getting better, its getting worse by the day,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter contacting <\/a>TygerBurger<\/a><\/em> last year<\/a>, I noted a traffic vehicle at the intersection only once, and never again,\u201d she told TygerBurger<\/em> last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is as if there is no law enforcement visibility at this busy intersection allowing the taxi drivers to continue with their lawlessness without any consequence. It is a desperate situation and needs to be addressed,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf we as motorists cannot turn to the authorities whom we trust to enforce some kind of road rules, who then?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The newspaper sent a media inquiry to the City requesting information on when law enforcement activities have taken place at this intersection and how the City plans to address the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, by the time of going to print, the City had not yet responded. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
