Silverstar puts its visitors’ safety first
The new crash barrier was installed on 11 February.
Silverstar has recently put its visitors’ safety top priority when they installed a new crash barrier on the R28 highway, outside its entrance.
The purpose of this investment was to alleviate an extremely unsafe situation for commuters after the old barriers were destroyed in a recent accident, according to the West Rand’s entertainment kingdom.
Silverstar Complex Surveillance and Security Manager, Fouche Viljoen, said the replaced barriers were previously installed by Silverstar and Gautrans. However, after they were destroyed, Viljoen said local authorities indicated that they had no funds to replace the barrier.
“We felt that this was an extremely unsafe situation for commuters and wanted to ensure that if there is another collision, the impact is minimised,” he explained.
The new crash barrier was installed on 11 February.
This was not the only safety measure Silverstar initiated. Late last year they installed solar road studs that are static and flash on the island at the entrance to the property.
These studs are said to be visible at night, and of course, during load-shedding. They act as a visible warning from afar and even provide passing traffic with a much-needed landmark at night.
“Silverstar is concerned about the well-being of their guests. This is evidenced by the lengths we are prepared to go to minimise areas of concern when it comes to safety in and around Silverstar,” Viljoen concluded.
