Slow Down Cape Town
Cape Town has released its new draft Traffic Calming Policy. But will it really make it easier for you to get traffic calming where you live or throughout the Metro?
Scroll down if you want to use our template to comment on the 2025 policy or read more about the changes.
Join us at Church House, a stone throw away Open Government First Thursdays on Wale St, for an open public discussion with Mikhail Manuel, Chair of the Portfolio Committee for Urban Mobility, hosted by Young Urbanists with support from the Active Mobility Forum.
We’ll unpack what’s in the new policy, what’s missing, and how it could change the way our streets feel — from new and old traffic calming measures beyond just schools to new tools to ensure we accelerate traffic calming measures across the metro.
This is your chance to ask questions, share your story, and have your say.
After the discussion, stick around for drinks and networking with other Capetonians passionate about safer, people-first streets.
