Mthatha notes on installation & traffic control
Hilly sites mean footings and humps often go in on a slope, so drainage and levels need care. Ask whether a quote includes transport from East London, since the distance adds to the cost of heavy units. Public sidewalks belong to the municipality, so permission comes first. Speed humps at schools and clinics, and cones and barriers for N2 road works through town, are common requests.
Who protects what in Mthatha
Mthatha is the main town of the former Transkei, and its CBD carries far more traffic than its streets were built for. Taxis, buses and delivery trucks crowd the centre, and vehicles mounting the kerb to park or pass are a daily problem, so municipal bollards and barriers along sidewalks and at taxi ranks are a regular need. A university, a large academic hospital, government offices and schools add institutional work, and the N2 runs right through town with heavy freight. The town is inland and hilly, with hot summers, cold winters and no salt air. Specialised products often come from East London, a few hours down the N2, so plan for delivery time.
The requests we see from Mthatha usually come from:
- Municipalities and public spaces: sidewalk posts knocked over by taxis replaced and re-set in deeper footings
- Offices, hotels and car parks: an office park car park with posts repainted and new reflective bands fitted
- Schools, hospitals and campuses: a hospital servicing retractable posts at the ambulance entrance
