Open Streets: Cape Town's busiest main roads closed for motorised vehicles on 01 October 2017!

Cape Town's busiest main roads between Observatory and Cape Town's CBD, including parts of Main Road (M4), Vicoria Road, Sir Lowry Road and Darling Street, will be reserved for people, not cars, during the first ever "Open Streets Main Road" taking place on 01 October 2017. Closed to motorised vehicles between 08:00 - 16:00, the roads will become an open space for pedestrians, cyclists, skateboarders, wheelchair users and other non-motorised transport users to move in safety. "Open Streets Main Road" is free and everyone is encouraged to participate and help plan the day.


"Open Streets Main Road" is organised by Open Streets Cape Town, a local non-profit organisation, in partnership with the City of Cape Town's Transport and Urban Development Authority, with the financial support of the WWF Nedbank Green Trust, Millennium Trust and Woolworths, as well as the help of many volunteers, residents and friends of the NPO.
