Council must cash in on traffic madness at rank

Date:

A visit at the age old Mucheke bus terminus reveals a lot of opportunities from traffic offenders which is a low hanging fruit for council.

The chaos caused by motorists can be a blessing in disguise for council by mounting traffic officers at all the entrances and arrest all the offenders who are breaking the law with impunity for 24hours without stop.

It is actually a jungle at the rank.

Vehicles use any available open space (entrance) to get in the rank for business and leisure, they use any exit point to leave the shopping centre or bus terminus.

It is a dog eat dog situation as cars hoot at each other to give way as they compete to flout the traffic rules.

The one way signs are not there and where they are still there, they are ignored as no one follows the law anymore including haulage trucks.

The council can have marshals at every entrance who will be responsible for clamping down on vehicles breaking the law and making them pay fines on the spot.

This will go a long way in increasing revenue for the cash strapped council without burdening the residents who are grappling with the tanking economy.

The money raised can be used to refurbish the rank which is now an eyesore especially toilets and road markings.
