51 Part 3 Road Safety Interventions 51

52 Purpose The purpose of the National Rolling Enforcement Plan is to co-ordinate road traffic enforcement across the three tiers of government with a view to effective and efficient traffic operations. Impact: Better detection of driver and vehicle fitness infringements Greater awareness of road traffic enforcement in the media The alcohol abuse blitzes have created a better compliance among road users in those authorities where it is regularly implemented. Improvement in data collection Effective coordination 52

53 Western Cape Eastern Cape 53

54 Challenges: Lack of commitment by some authorities Lack of uniformity and standardization Ineffectual implementation and limited monitoring and evaluation Insufficient public awareness/education in road safety Future Plans: Underscoring the plan to stop and check a minimum of 1 million vehicles; Perform a minimum of screenings for alcohol nationwide per month. Blitzes to be conducted nation-wide by all authorities on exactly the same focal areas and same dates stipulated on the plan. Ongoing analysis of crash data and HAZLOCS for strategic ops planning. 54

55 Purpose The intervention is aimed at combating alcohol abuse on our roads. The innovative aim of this operation is for each uniformed officer to arrest a minimum of one drunkard per month. Reach: The principle of a minimum of one drunkard, per officer, per month MUST be enforced in order to rid our roads of drunken drivers who cause fatal crashes. Impact: It is expected that drunken driver/pedestrians will be arrested per month. It has NEVER been done before and sustainability to this assures the reduction of offence and fatality figures. Challenges: Lack of support from all authorities. 55

69 Purpose: To create a safe environment for learners to cross the road next to their schools. To inculcate leadership skills amongst learners. Reach: Schools that fall within the ambit of the Department of Basic Education. Impact: A decrease in learner road injuries/fatalities around the school zones The creation of safe road environment within school zones Raised awareness of learners on pedestrian safety Raised awareness of drivers to be cautious around school zones Challenges: There are still incidences of learner fatalities/injuries as a result of reckless drivers. The scholar patrol database is currently not reliable The scholar patrol programme need to be managed in a coordinated manner. 69

70 Future Plans: To develop and implement a web-based system that all relevant role players can utilise for seamless capturing, updating and reporting of incidents/fatalities. To embark on a database audit to verify the current database. To strengthen the coordination processes with regard to sponsorships/initiatives by interested parties, eg; uniform and equipment sponsorships. To involved the Road Accident Fund on reported cases of learner injuries/fatalities. 70

71 Purpose: To change learner attitude towards road safety through participatory education. Schools are invited to enter a competition where they should identify road safety problems within their communities, and propose an implementable solution to address the problem. They use miniature models/displays to depict the problems and solutions. Reach: The competition is open to all national High Schools. Impact: Enhanced understanding and application of technology to solve problems in own communities Promotion of teamwork and participatory learning Learners are equipped with analysis skills 71

72 Challenges: Only schools that can afford to purchase material for the building of a model participate No involvement of those responsible for road infrastructure and design to assist the learners with their project and to try and implement proposed solutions. Proposed solutions from learners are never implemented Future Plans: This programme will be merged with a new programme called Photovoice by Safe kids worldwide. 72

73 73

74 Purpose To encourage learners to be aware and take responsibility of road safety issues/problems within their environment.
