• no overnight truck stops; • inadequate control of transport of dangerous goods; and • no direct rail freight line betw een Vanderbijlpark (Mittal) and Ekurhuleni (ORTIA). Conclusion: Although Sedibeng is removed for the economic core of the Province, it is clear that the region has the potential to contribute to the expansion and enhancement of industrial and economic activities in general in the Province due to their active manufacturing and industrial sectors. Mobility and accessibility should be improved to ensure more effective freight movement into the economic core to contribute on a greater basis to the central economic activity areas.Ultimately integrated spatial planning and transportation planning w ill be achieved through the Global City Region. How ever, in the interim, there is need for coordination among the local authorities to ensure integrated planning, and avoiding destructive regional competition to support the freight logistics industry and position the district and province as a global competitor. There is a need for institutional coordination to sustain the law enforcement program for the benefit of the freight industry and society at large. 11.3 Strategy A strategy for freight for Sedibeng w ill take cognisance of the follow ing: • A major freight route system should be defined in Sedibeng including major roads that provide access to economic activity but preferably bypass congested, central areas (CBD’s). Heavy vehicles should be encouraged to utilise this system. • Discourage freight traffic during peak hours w hen traffic demand is highest. • Provide adequate stopping facilities for trucks including emergency lay-bys and overnight facilities. • Loading facilities should be provided at activity centres and within CBD’s to minimise conflict in the travelled w ay. Such facilities include on- and off-street loading bays. Large development should provide on-site loading bays. • Freight traffic safety must be controlled by means of speed and overloading control measures. • Truck traffic through residential areas must be discouraged/prohibited in the interests of safety, the environment and traffic congestion. • Time control measures should be implemented w here justified w ith regard to the restriction of loading during peak hours and especially in CBD’s. • Heavy freight transport should be encouraged to use the rail netw ork rather than road netw ork. 11.4 Outputs SDM w ill promote safe and efficient transport of freight by road and rail by means of developing a Freight Transport Management Plan (FTMP) considering overload control, abnormal loads and transporting hazardous materials.The follow ing outcomes are applicable: SDM DITP, 2008 to 2013 168 31 Aug 2010
• Undertake an assessment of freight transport in Sedibeng, w hich should lead to a Problem Statement. • Undertake an assessment of the stakeholders and their relative interest in achieving a successful freight and logistics strategy as well as their contribution and roles. • Undertake an assessment of the state of the freight and logistics economic cluster in Sedibeng and identify the key challenges that the cluster faces in supporting the global and regional competitiveness of key traded clusters and sectors w ithin the broader provincial sense. • Identify the objectives of a freight and logistics implementation strategy for Sedibengin consultation w ith key stakeholders. • Identify key challenges to achieve the objectives of the implementation strategy, e.g. the lack of consolidated and reliable data; lack of clarity on a third international airport; competition for road space; absence of formal coordination structures betw een the different spheres of government as w ell as with the private sector. • Identify possible solutions or options to address the key challenges. • Recommend specific interventions to implement the strategic responses, e.g. declare certain corridors to be freight corridors; location of logistics hubs, interventions in the business environment to support the development and upgrading of the logistics cluster. • Identify the most appropriate institutional arrangements (co-ordination structures) to implement the freight transport and logistics strategy including what roles the different spheres should undertake. • If found to be necessary, make recommendations on w hat additional buy-law s are required to effectively implement the proposed strategy. SDM w ill further explore the establishment of a centralised truck stop facility/hub in the Meyerton industrial area next to the R59 freew ay to accommodate freight movements to amongst other places Ekurhuleni and City Deep, based on the initial investigation done by GPTRW.
