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 />
