Review of Line 2B
Councillor Maluleka
Council Resolved:That the proposed revised A Re Yeng Line 2B cross section design (lane acquisition for TRT Option 2) from the intersection of University/Lynnwood Road in Hatfield, along Lynnwood Road and Atterbury Road up to the intersection with January Masilela Drive, be approved.
POLICY FRAMEWORKNATIONAL LAND TRANSPORT ACT, 2009
The Act proposes that priority be given to public transport by ensuring the provision of adequate public transport services and applying travel demand management measures to discourage private transport.
Gauteng 25-Year Integrated Transport Masterplan
States that the GITMP 25 presents a paradigm shift in spatial (Land Use) and Transport Planning.
BRT and IRPTN Report
“The provision of additional lanes was specified as a last resort, which may require land expropriation if the road reserve is not wide enough. In the assessment a certain level of reduction in the level of service to general traffic was accepted in order to promote public transport.
If the traffic impact on the rapid transit route and adjacent routes were severe, mitigation measures such as traffic management and provision of additional lanes could be specified.
In cases where only one lane per direction is available, construction of an additional lane per direction was specified to accommodate dedicated lanes for the rapid transit”
Scheme extent – 6.9km5 sections
6 Median Station Stops
Option 1 – Lane Addition
Option 2 – Lane acquisition
Baseline study (2012)
Lynnwood and Atterbury Roads

500-800 vehicles divert/hr
