.Cape Town - Taxi drivers who park illegally along Strand Street next to the train station are a problem for the city, but are not the only road users behaving badly.
That’s according to mayoral committee member for social services and security JP Smith, who added that taxi drivers and other road users notched up nearly 2000 fines over the past six months in the CBD, including Strand Street.
“Many road users are guilty of flouting the law on an all too regular basis. The city’s traffic service conducts enforcement operations in as many areas as possible. However, given our finite resources, we are not able to be everywhere all the time.”
Smith added there were regulations that governed the behaviour of road users - motorised, non-motorised and pedestrians - and they were outlined in the National Road Traffic Act, as well as the City of Cape Town’s traffic by-laws.
