The extent of the problem is such that...
“as a country we reported a road death rate of 26. 0 per 100 000 people
in 2015 when the global average is 17.4 fatalities per 100 000 people. Middle
income countries like ours record an average of 18.4 fatalities per 100 000
people.”
• The most vulnerable age groups are those between the ages of 19 and
34
• The most affected road users are pedestrians and passengers.
• People injured or killed on our roads are often breadwinners in their
families and contributors to the economy at large.
• Road crashes deny our people a right to pursue economic activities
and denies their children the right to education

The extent of the problem is such
that….(cont’d)
• The estimated total cost of crashes was R143 Billion in 2015.
Making up 3% of the GDP
• The highest cost being that of human casualty
