Hospital Bend
Hospital Bend is a major
accident location; between March 2008 and early 2010 it underwent major roadworks to address these issues.[1][2] It takes its name from it curving around the grounds of Groote Schuur Hospital
.
Design
Two highways approach Hospital Bend from the
Settlers Way, goes east towards Cape Town International Airport and the Cape Flats; the M3, now known as Rhodes Drive, goes south towards the University of Cape Town, the Southern Suburbs and Muizenberg
. Ramps allow vehicles to travel between Settlers Way and Rhodes Drive.
The space between the main carriageways on the Bend accommodate ramps connecting Anzio Road (an access road for the hospital) with Rhodes Drive, and a ramp allowing travel from Anzio Road to the city-bound carriageway.
