Western Cape Mobility Department

Junior Traffic Training Centre launched at Hawston Primary School

On Wednesday, 18 October 2023, the Western Cape Government Mobility Department, in partnership with Overstrand Local Municipality, launched a Junior Traffic Training Centre (JTTC) at Hawston Primary School near Hermanus.

A JTTC is a simulated road environment where children can learn to use road safely and responsibly without being exposed to life-threatening traffic hazards. At the launch, Willie van der Merwe, Director: Road Safety Management delivered a brief overview of the project. “This JTTC will allow learners to learn about road safety in a play environment”, he said.

“Thank you to the Department for bringing this project to Overberg, especially in Hawston” said Lindile Ntsabo, Deputy Mayor: Overstrand Local Municipality. “When I was growing up, we never had these opportunities as children. I hope that the learners will make a good use of this JTTC”, he added.
