I lived on this road and people uded to crash into my yard all the time. Lives were lost. This is way overdue. For those opposing this, you do not know what it is like to have someone die in your yard and have to explain to a child what has happened. Enough is enough.

#139

this is a much needed facility... how many more children and adults need to loose their lives????

(Durban, 2017-05-19)

#143

We need the eThekwini Municipality to understand that our lives matter! This is a main road that runs through the community and motorist have to co-exist with the community. Life takes precedence over wanting to reach a destination in the shortest of time. The eTA arguments about not installing traffic calming DO NOT make sense. The stretch (or race track) which has claimed so many lives is less than 5 kms. There are alternative routes for arrogant careless drivers that want to speed. Use the darn freeway! I am angry, everyone loves their families. Perhaps we should come with our Posters to the municipality to stage a protest so you all can see exactly how many adults and children have died on that road.

I grew up in Sparks Road and have witnessed many accidents and deaths even as from as far back in 1970 with the deaths of a brother and sister 2 days before Christmas. My dad has lived there for more than 52yrs and has repeatedly supported any means to calm traffic. If the bottom half of Sparks Rd has traffic lights less than 500 metres apart, why not the upper end?

(Durban, 2017-05-19)

#161
