Overview
• Pillar 2: Safer Roads and Mobility• Pillar 4: Safe Road User• Pillar 5: Post-Crash Responses
+/- 750 000 km

+/- 22 000 km

• The +/- 22 000 km represents only 2.9 % of the 750 000 km of RSA network– but carries 33,1% of all traffic, and– more than 70% of all long distance road
freight.

• Continue to invest in our national asset– 2010/11 to 2014/15, SANRAL
awarded 921 contracts worth R61.9 billion for new works, rehabilitation and improvement, and various maintenance cycles
– 2015/16, SANRAL spent R14,8 billion

• Massive Infrastructure Investment• Role of Infrastructure in Road Safety is proven• UN Decade of Action : Global Plan
–Safe Systems Approach

Safe Systems Approach
• Despite all efforts to prevent crashes, road users will remain fallible and crashes will occur.
• Safe System approach is to ensure that in the event of a crash, the impact energies remain below the threshold likely to produce either death or serious injury.
• It stresses that those involved in the design of the road transport system need to accept and share responsibility for the safety of the system, and those that use the system need to accept responsibility for complying with the rules and constraints of the system.

Role of System Designers• Rules and Constraints
– Human Error versus Human Fault– Compliant Society – Road Safety Competes on a Hierarchy
of Social Needs• What is the reality?• Infrastructure supporting better road user
compliance

Road Fatalities in SA
Between 5 000 and 6 000 pedestrians killed every year

The Case for Pedestrians• Genuine need for pedestrians to cross or travel along major routes.
– Vulnerable Road Users– Captive Road Users - Poorest of the poor
• Poor land use planning resulting in unsafe desire lines

Pillar 2: Safer Roads and Mobility• Pedestrian Hazardous Location Programme
– In many instances these are known to us– These are “quick wins”– Remedial measures NOT ONLY infrastructure– Road User Behaviour needs to be influenced as
well, Road Safety Education and Awareness• Covered under Pillar 4 Safer Road Users

Road Network Assessment
• Method to determine road safety risk - mitigate• Network Level Tool• Overcome limited accurate crash data available• Inform where to intervene and invest
• Highest Return for our Road Safety Investment• Develop a Model that other Road Authorities can use

• NetSafe©
– Identify and prioritize locations where road safety improvements and/or interventions are likely to be most effective
– Locations for further investigations • Further safety investigations must be undertaken at a particular
site in order to:• To identify appropriate safety improvements• Cost efficiency of safety improvements• Other remedial measures such as Road safety education and
awareness, and traffic law enforcement, that could compliment engineering/infrastructure interventions

• Proactive means of ensuring that we can provide road infrastructure, that is more forgiving, self-explaining, meets the needs of all road users.
• Promotes a culture of road safety among Designers• Promoting Safe System Philosophy
– Maximise the safety of the road system– Special emphasis on high risk issues (fatal and serious injury
crashes)
Role of Road Safety Audits
