Visibility the only answer
TRAFFIC officers and police have been spotted on every corner of Jeffreys Bay during this festive season, and are taking a zero-tolerance approach to those not abiding by the law.
During the public holiday of December 16, municipal traffic officers were spotted pulling over visibly intoxicated drivers. According to police spokesman, Inspector Petra Els, the police have taken on a zero-tolerance approach this festive season.
She said that from December 11 to 21 December, three were arrested for drunken driving, 48 for serious crimes and another 75 arrested for minor crimes.
Municipal spokesman , Laura-Leigh Randall, said roadblocks will take place throughout the festive season.
“All our traffic officers are on duty this season to help ensure motorists‘ safety.
We ask that motorists cooperate with them.
They are there to help ensure that people get to their destinations safely,” she said.

Where are those traffic officers that are supposed to ensure motorists' safety. On that road, where stone throwing incidents occur often (see Our Times of 26/12/09) especially during the festive season, I have not seen any. I have to use that road often and am always frightened and so are my guests.
The road is not safe and the best solution woud be to build another road through a safer area
tp cpnnect to Jeffreys Bay, the Mall and to the world via the N2.

I have been visiting Aston Bay for the last 20 years and owned property (holiday home) in Aston bay for the past 13 years. Due to the unsafe route to Aston Bay with the accompanying ill planned speed bumps I have decided that enough is enough. There is no incentive to invest money in the Marine Martinique and or the rest of Aston bay. The only solution to the problem was to get rid of my property and to sell it to another fool who will only much later realise what a mistake it was to invest in that area.
