9 TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN<br />
Attention is given to the follow ing components of the Transport Infrastructure<br />
Strategy:<br />
• Strategic Road Netw ork for <strong>Sedibeng</strong>;<br />
• Strategic Road-based Public Transport Netw ork/Routes;<br />
• road safety;<br />
• traffic signals;<br />
• traffic signage and road markings; and<br />
• upgrading/maintenance of roads in the Strategic Roads Netw ork.<br />
9.1 Strategic Road Netw orks<br />
The follow ing draw ings relate to the road netw orks in <strong>Sedibeng</strong> and are attached at<br />
the back of this DITP:<br />
• Draw ing 9: <strong>Sedibeng</strong> Ex isting Road Infrastructure<br />
• Draw ing 10: <strong>Sedibeng</strong> Roads Master Planning and Classifications<br />
• Draw ing <strong>11</strong>: <strong>Sedibeng</strong> Development Zones and Roads Master Planning<br />
• Draw ing 12: Emfuleni Roads Master Planning<br />
• Draw ing 13: Midvaal Roads Master Planning<br />
It is noted that the Roads Master Planning for Lesedi currently is non-existent.<br />
9.2 Strategic Road-based Public Transport Netw ork/Routes<br />
The majority of road-based public transport services in Gauteng are provided by minibus<br />
taxis. Gauteng therefore is currently designing a netw ork of effective and efficient<br />
public transport services for Gauteng, based on the number of passengers and w here<br />
they w ant to travel. ‘Effective and efficient’ w ithin this context implies, amongst<br />
others, appropriate mode and vehicles for demand. This w ill assist Province and<br />
Treasury w ith their endeavour to convert all interim contracts to ‘subsidised service<br />
contracts’ (presumably revenue km-based contracts) on or before 30 September<br />
2009 to ensure alignment w ith DoT’s Integrated Rapid Public Transport Netw ork<br />
initiative. The implementation of the Integrated Netw ork Design should start from 1<br />
April 2010.<br />
The main components of this initiative by Province involve the follow ing:<br />
• Data collection (vehicle frequency and occupancy cordon counts) and travel<br />
demand modelling.<br />
• Strategic netw ork structure based on Gauteng’s Strategic Public Transport<br />
Netw orks. This is being expanded to include possible key corridors, trunks<br />
and feeder routes.<br />
• Operational design, i.e. frequencies, system sizing, fleet size, vehicle types,<br />
and contract ‘packages’.<br />
• Infrastructure components, i.e. terminals, depots, stops and interchanges.<br />
