vThe conversion of some streets in central Harare into one-ways begins on Sunday while council will soon
convert some streets in the central business district into pedestrian malls. The city says the conversions were
approved in 1994 and lack of funding has been stalling the project. The measure is meant to reduce congestion while
allowing free flow of human and vehicular traffic. 6 roads are earmarked for conversion into one–ways.
On Sunday the city begins the conversion of South Avenue into a one way street with traffic flowing east-wards from Angwa Street to Wynne Street.
Inez Terrace will be converted so that traffic on the road flows in a southerly direction from Nelson Mandela Avenue to Kenneth Kaunda Avenue.
The other roads will be done in phases with traffic on the whole of Robert Mugabe Road flowing east-wards from Rotten Row up to the intersection with Fourth Street.
The third phase will see traffic on Leopold Takawira flowing in a northerly direction from Charter Road to Samora Machel Avenue, while that on Chinhoyi Street will flow in a southerly direction from Samora Machel to Charter Road.
The pedestrian malls were approved in 1994 when the city designed its transport master plan.
Harare has two pedestrian malls First Street and the stretch of Speke Ave from the corner of Inez Terrace to Julius Nyerere Way and from Rezende Street to Cameron
Street. The additional pedestrian malls are planned on the stretches of George Silundika from Sam Nujoma to the Main Post Office, Inez Terrace to Speke Avenue, the stretch from Speke Avenue to Rezende Street and the whole of Rezende Street to Bank Street and from Bank Street to Market Square
