Comment on the proposed time-restricted one-way road conversion of Zinnia Road in Silvertown, Athlone
11 August 2026
We plan to convert Zinnia Road in Silvertown into a time-restricted one-way road, and we want to hear from you.
About
The proposed introduction of a time-restricted one-way system along Zinnia Road, between Lower Klipfontein Road and Durant Road in Silvertown aims to:
- improve traffic flow,
- enhance safety, and
- create a more organised road environment around Silverlea Primary School, where there are many vulnerable road users during busy drop-off and pick-up times.
The proposal includes:
- A time-restricted one-way along Zinnia Road, from Lower Klipfontein Road towards Durant Road during busy drop-off (07:00 – 08:00) and pick-up (12:30-15:00) times from Monday to Friday.
By participating in this process, your insights and feedback can help shape a safer, more efficient road for everyone.
In terms of Section 17 of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, Act 32 of 2000, you can submit comments to the municipality in respect of the proposed road conversion.
