The eThekwini Municipality is implementing innovative, tamper-proof solutions to prevent traffic lights from being vandalised.
Cable theft and traffic signal vandalism in the Durban South area are impacting road safety, forcing the eThekwini Municipality to improvise tamper-proof solutions.
Zimbili Mazibuko, who hosts the eThekwini Matters Podcast, explained that traffic signals are essential for keeping roads safe, reducing congestion, and ensuring the smooth movement of people and goods across eThekwini.
Mazibuko said that when traffic signals are out of order, congestion occurs, accidents happen, and road users become frustrated.
“Yet, the growing problem of vandalism continues to threaten these critical public assets and the services they provide,” she said.
