Pretoria road is a absolute mess, the dust is terrible and the traffic is a horror. This is not acceptable.

Come on Ekurhuleni - Get your act together! If Benoni was run by the DA this would not have happened.  If this was the road to NKANDLA it would have been completed years ago! This is the main route to Benoni CBD, the highway and all other suburbs and is an absolute NIGHTMARE to travel on a daily basis and the f@cking taxis dont make it any easier with their lawlessness!

Due to the road being so bad and "Dangerous " as twice I have almost been involved in what could have been nasty accidents. People disregard the traffic light on the corner of Lessing and pretoria Rd and it would be so helpful if the traffic department could monitor this I terse cation. Thanks g you in anticipation

The negative traffic impact on uys and swallow road as most people detour to uys road in order to avoid Pretoria road. It becomes a long wait to get onto uys street where it intersects with swallow road. I think a points man would even be a good idea to have in order to control traffic between 6:30am and 7:30am. This will also prevent accidents.

I need to use Pretoria road to travel on the shortes route in and out of Petit. The traffic is becoming very hectic to get in and out of Rynfield Terrance in such a way that as a customer you don't really want to shop at your closest, more convienant Spar.

My husbands parents stays in Crystall park and when we go to them. We have to use a other road. Because of Pretoria road not being repiared.

The condition of the road is damaging my car. It is causing me inconvenience as it is part of my direct route to work and is forcing me to detour throught a longer route daily.

The roac is a hassle, your car gets damaged. Uou have to leave early as there is always traffic or if you take alternate road it takes longer

My car is being ruined by the large potholes in the non -existing road. It is unacceptable to expect motorist to use this very dangerous road.

i am late for work each day due to this road...the traffic is a disaster and unfortunatly its the only route i can take to work, this road is damaging my car and this is becoming a big problem and frustration...

Guest#63 Feb 04, 2016, 12:52
I signed thus petition, because not only is the unfinished roadworks causing havoc with regards to traffic, but there is constantly a cloud of dust hanging around that area. There are shops in that complex that work with food!! It is also not good for my car to travel on that road with all the stones and potholes!!! Why can't the ekurhuleni not think like America and only do 1 section at a time!!!! No they have to destroy everything and then take years to finish!!! Personally for me and for business this is terrible!!!!
Guest#64 Feb 04, 2016, 12:52
We travel this road every day.
Guest#65 Feb 04, 2016, 12:53
Fed up with state of the roads and tired of the incompetence of the so called management of public resources and the total disdain to the tax payers.
Guest#66 Feb 04, 2016, 12:53
I'm using the road almost every day, it's not safe and it's delaying us.
Guest#67 Feb 04, 2016, 12:54
My vehicle is getting damaged and it takes longer to get to work.
Guest#68 Feb 04, 2016, 12:56
The road is a nightmare to travel in peak hour traffic.
Guest#69 Feb 04, 2016, 12:57

I avoid Pretoria road & rather take a long detour to reach my destination. Complete the road as it is a huge inconvenience to everyone that has to travel on that route.

My everyday life is badly affected as I use Pretoria Road to take my son to and from school. Going to shop at Northmead Mall and Square is one trip I really hate at this present moment!
Guest#71 Feb 04, 2016, 13:03
Disaster on Pretoria Road. We had to replace a tyre at a cost of R1600 due to the condition of the road. Traffic is a nightmare.
Guest#72 Feb 04, 2016, 13:04
Our residence is right next to this and the amount of dust my kids are inhaling is terrible.... Please help!
Guest#73 Feb 04, 2016, 13:04
I drive a BMW that is very low so when driving on Prwtoria road I am always late as there are big holes in the road and I rather bypass Rynfield Terrace shopping centre because I do not want to drive there at all. They must finish the road asap.
Guest#74 Feb 04, 2016, 13:06

Guest#75 Feb 04, 2016, 13:07
