The AA calls for urgent road safety

The Automobile Association has called for an urgent forum to be formed to further develop the strategies in place and find more effective solutions to the carnage that takes place on our roads every day.

The Automobile Association has called for an urgent forum to be formed to further develop the strategies in place and find more effective solutions to the carnage that takes place on our roads every day.

This follows the recent addition of Sbu N’debele from the AA as a signatory to the Make Roads Safe Decade of Action for road safety ahead of the UN summit to be held in November of this year.

The endeavour aims to curb the massive number of 15 000 who die on South African roads each year.The AA has invited the general public to contribute with suggestions that they feel would make a difference on SA roads.

“Road safety is a community effort and we all need to start getting involved in order to feel that what we do can make a difference” says Gary Ronald of the AA.

Ronald said road safety leading into 2010 poses various challenges for South Africa “when we will be centre stage”. The most prominent challenges fall under the three umbrella categories of enforcement, education and engineering and the government is working furiously to address these issues one by one.

Addressing pedestrian safety, ensuring that roads are structurally sound and implementing a system of effective traffic law enforcement and road safety education are key, while plans must be put in place to ensure safety and sustainability in the transport sector.
