For drivers approaching an intersection, clear markings are essential for knowing where to stop and which path to follow.

 

In Sunninghill, the intersection of Tudor Avenue and Spitfire Street has received attention after concerns about faded road markings. Randburg Sun reported on 10 September 2026 that the Johannesburg Roads Agency had begun refreshing the lines.

 

A visible response to residents’ concerns

 

Ward 93 councillor Vino Reddy welcomed the work, describing the previous markings as difficult to interpret.

 

The report followed an earlier response from JRA infrastructure development head Kwazelela Mcetywa, who said paint had been procured and maintenance would proceed once it arrived.

 

The repainting is a concrete improvement at this intersection. It does not establish that all affected roads in Sunninghill have been attended to, and the report gives no completion date for the wider area.

 

Faded markings on your route?

 

JRA’s official contact page directs residents to Joburg Connect for road-related faults.

 

 

To make your report useful, include:

 

  • The suburb and both street names at the intersection.
  • Which markings are unclear, such as stop lines or lane markings.
  • A photograph, only if you can take one safely without standing in the road or using your phone while driving.

 

Ask for a reference number and keep it for follow-up.

 

The Bottom Line

 

The Sunninghill repainting is a welcome response to a specific local concern. Reporting the exact location of other faded markings gives the agency clearer information to act on.
