Dear Select Committee on Transport, Public Service and Administration, Public Works and Infrastructure,

We have move to springs 2 years ago and i love springs. I just want to write to you to rase some concerns about the street lights and robots that have not been working.
The amount of accidents I have seen in springs is shocking in the 2 years I have stayed here is.... there is no words really none! it breaks my heart knowing that the person lying under that silver blanket has a family and that family doesn't know that their loved one has passed or even when is he or she gane come home after a long days work! How many lives must be taken? How many people must suffer from loosing a loved one.? How long is this stil going to go on before someone is going to do something. On nigel road there has been so many fatal accidents that it sickness me to the bone the street is so dark you cant see people crossing the road, people trying to cross the road to turn to where they need to go! that you cant see how long is this gane go on howmany lives is it gane take before they are going to fix this lights.
Every 1 - 2 weeks there are accidents!
The nation toll agency at the N17
This is not just my issue. When you drive on the N17 at night people are running accros the highway right next to the briges its so dark that you cant see for km's infront of you! My recommendation is that there should be fencing put and have big highway lights placed either in the middle or next to the highway. I drive to and from work on this highway and evry single day and i know people drive like they want but seriously if they want to make springs and serounding areas save they need to think of all these things

I realy hope that something will be done about this

Kind regards
Juanita Pretorius
