World-wide, over 1.3 million people die and up to 50 million are injured annually. Approximately 14 000 people die on South African roads annually with more than 140 000 being injured. The cost of crashes to the South African economy, according to the World Health Organization formula (WHO) is estimated at R307 billion rand per annum. South Africa is a member of the Decade of Action (DOA): 2011-2020 which aims to halve road crash fatalities by 2020. The Road Traffic Management Corporation is an agency of the Department of Transport mandated to provide for cooperative and co-ordinated strategic planning, regulation, facilitation and law enforcement in respect of road traffic matters across the three tiers of government. 8

Part 3 Road Safety Interventions 51

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

Western Cape Eastern Cape 53

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 10 000 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

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 17 000 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

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

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

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

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

To encourage companies to develop internal driver programmes to enhance driver skills. Reach: Aimed at heavy vehicle drivers Impact: Drivers are exposed to international professional driving standards 76

Challenges: Failure to effectively address the needs of the freight industry such as economical driving and load safety issues Poor communication about the competition, as a result the same participants enter the competition every year. Success largely depends on private sector participation Small business disadvantaged Future Plans: To ensure that the competitions incorporate the SAQA certified unit standards for professional drivers.

Challenges: The infrastructure is not properly maintained and as a result becomes dilapidated. Mainly benefits the learners of the school in which it is located, as it not always feasible for other schools to arrange for the learners to go the centres (travelling costs, seeking permission from parents, time to travel). Future Plans: Invest in mobile JTCC S- All schools will have at least one JTCC that will be enrich the learners understanding of the theory they have learned in class. Maintenance costs are very minimal 79
