This week’s question was:
How often should road markings be repainted or maintained? Some roads have become so hazardous if drivers do not know where to drive. What can be done?

Ward 134 councillor Wendy Alexander answered:
The road markings within the City of Johannesburg are painted every three to six months.
This is all dependent on weather, the volume of traffic, and so forth.
The Johannesburg Road Agency (JRA) makes use of the South African Bureau of Standards (Sabs) standard road paint. Residents are encouraged to report any road issues to the City.
They can log issues via the JRA Find & Fix app. This app has GPS capabilities, when issues are logged via the app they are geotagged.
Do you have a question for a Ward councillor?
As a local newspaper, the Randburg Sun provides a platform for residents to learn about, understand and follow local government.
As an extension of that, there is a weekly column called Councillor’s Corner which is a platform for you, our readers, to voice your concerns or questions for Ward councillors to respond to.
Different, willing, Ward councillors will respond to a question each week.
