Pedestrian Safety

Improving pedestrian safety in Hatfield is a priority for Ward 56. Several high-risk intersections — Roper & Lynnwood, Herold & Lynnwood, and South & Jan Shoba — have been identified where students and residents face daily danger. The ward councillor is working with Hatfield CID, the University of Pretoria and TMPD to implement immediate safety interventions while long-term infrastructure upgrades are pursued through the City’s budgeting process.
