There is no dedicated municipal traffic department physically located in Hout Bay. Residents typically use traffic services in nearby suburbs such as Fish Hoek, Gallows Hill (Green Point), or Wynberg.[3] For issues relating to traffic fines, licensing, or vehicle testing, these are the closest facilities available to Hout Bay residents.[3]
For emergency or enforcement queries (such as traffic accidents, bylaw enforcement, or law enforcement patrols), the following contact options are most relevant:
- Metro Traffic Police/Law Enforcement: 0860 765 423[2]
- City of Cape Town General Enquiries: 0860 103 089 or contact.us@capetown.gov.za[6][8]
- Submit City Service Requests Online: Via City e-services portal[6]
- City of Cape Town Driver’s Licence Testing Centres: Multiple locations available across the metro, not in Hout Bay itself[7]
For policing, public safety, or reporting an incident, the local Hout Bay SAPS (South African Police Service) station should be contacted:
- Hout Bay SAPS Charge Office: 021 791 9300[1][2][5]
- General SAPS Emergency Number: 10111[2][5]
Hout Bay residents can also log service requests online for issues such as traffic offences, blocked stormwater drains, or illegal dumping. This can be done through the City of Cape Town’s online service request portal. Always provide complete contact details to receive a reference number for tracking.[6]
