30 Jan SA’s top residential estates now have access to online speed management for safer gated living

Glovent Solutions has added speed management to its smartphone-based community management system, currently available at over 100 of South Africa’s high-end residential estates.

“The launch of our advanced speed management for residential estates follows yet another holiday season disaster on our roads,” says Savanne Robertze, the speed management product lead at Glovent Solutions.

Speeding in residential estates is becoming a growing issue as the perception is there is no policing on SA’s hundreds of private roads.

Excessive vehicle speeds in estates increase the likelihood of accidents and also contribute to a heightened sense of insecurity among residents. This is fundamentally at odds with the very raison d’etre of security estates.

“South Africans choose gated communities because their children can more safely play in the streets. We need to safeguard this benefit with advanced speed enforcement technology that promotes good order,” explained Robbertze.

Glovent Solutions has developed and runs a community management system that streamlines secure estate entry and also assists management committees with the efficient running of their estates.

The Glovent mobile app, now notifies residents of offences in near real-time, effectively deterring reckless driving. Residents can easily view and pay their penalties in the app while community managers have access to a live portal that displays data on penalties issued and collections received.

By implementing practical speed management measures that integrate with leading speed camera systems, Glovent Solutions is helping to significantly reduce the likelihood of accidents involving people and pets.
