CT traffic solution suggestion 376

Right on Diabolus. A truck breaking down in peak traffic on the Ben Schoeman (for example) causes far far more traffic chaos than any other broken-down vehicle ... and 60% of all broken-down vehicles on the Ben Schoeman = trucks. A truck related incident is almost always serious ... causing hours of traffic congestion and frustration.

Trucks should stay off the roads during weekday AM and PM peaks in the main metropolitan areas. It's not that difficult to manage from all sides involved.

Cape Town has bottlenecks...traffic during peak hours..which is being dealt with by the upgrades of hospital bend, koeberg etc...cairo, sao paulo and co. experience real traffic.

And causing worse bottlenecks in the process :)

Yes, I know it will be better in the long run, but it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

And as far as it not being 'real' traffic - during christmas holidays, it takes me 20 minutes to get to work. During normal time, over an hour. To me, a 300% increase in travel time counts as real traffic!

I don't actually care what the traffic is sao paulo is like, since I don't live there and don't have to drive to work there.

I do live in Cape Town, and unfortunately have to drive to work here. And I think that a 300% increase in drive time is reason to complain. Just because other places may be worse, doesn't mean that we don't have a problem, and that we can't improve.

I prefer the bottlenecks in Durbs ;)
