Snapshot of Road Traffic 2 2 Annually an estimated 1,3million people die on roads globally. Every day approximately 3200 people are killed on roads around the world. South Africa contributes roughly 40 deaths per day and 14000 deaths per annum annually. The country’s mortality rate of 28 per 100 000 citizens is one of the worst in the world. It is also the largest unnatural killer of children in South Africa. Road crashes have become recognized internationally as a social and economic burden, particularly in developing countries. The most badly affected by road traffic incidents are the poor. Estimated population: around 50 million Number of provinces: nine Number of official languages: eleven Estimated kilometre road network: 720 000kms Large percentage of population relies on public transport of which 156 000 are mini-bus taxis. Number of traffic officers: approximately 17000 of which about 9000 are metropolitan police members Traffic enforcement in SA is a concurrent function.

It should be noted that these figures are preliminary. The table above provide the number of fatalities per year from 2009 to 2011.

With the exception of 2010, a fluctuation for passengers was between 34 % and 36% for 2009 and 2011. .The same trend has been observed for pedestrians, whereby a decrease was observed from 2009 with 34% to 33% in 2010, then increase to 36% in 2011 The figure above shows the contribution by each province to the total fatalities. With an exception of Gauteng, Mpumalanga and Northern Cape, other provinces have recorded a decrease or a no change in this regard. The contributory factors are circumstantial elements that are present at the time of the crash and are generally classified under four main categories, namely: human, vehicle, roadway and the environment. The contributory factors to road crashes are generally classified under 3 main categories as follows: Factor 2009 2010 Human 82.85 84.91 Vehicle 9.13 5.79 Road &Environment 8.02 9.3 The human factor contributed 82,85% to fatal crashes during 2009 and 84.91% in 2010. Vehicle factor contributed decreased from 9.13% in 2009 to 5.79% in 2010. The road and environment contributed 8,02% in 2009 and 9.3% in 2010. The reported contributory factors to fatal crashes during 2009 and 2010 are reflected in the general and respective human, vehicle and road and environment figures below Contributory Factors to Fatal Crashes 2009 Road (8.02%) Vehicle (9.13%) Human (82.85%) Factor 2009 2010 Human Speed too high for circumstances Speed too high for circumstances Pedestrian jaywalking Pedestrian jaywalking Hit-and-run Hit-and-run Vehicle Tyre burst Tyre burst Brakes faulty Brakes faulty Steering faulty Steering faulty Road &Environment Sharp bend Sharp bend Poor condition of road surface Poor condition of road surface Poor visibility Poor visibility The major crash investigation data was used to analyse the contributory factors for 2011. .The following were the leading human factors: driver failing to keep a proper lookout, fail to keep vehicle under control, overtook when unsafe. .The top two leading vehicle factors were tyre burst, vehicle maintenance poor/in adequate. .The top three leading factors for road and environment were traffic light, poor condition of road surface and road signs poor / inadequate. The graph above reflects the comparison of day-of-week crashes between 2010 and 2011 which indicates, amongst others, increase in crashes that happened on Sundays and Mondays. It further shows that during 2011 almost one quarter (24,16%) of the weekly crashes happened on a Saturday, and 61,27% of all weekly fatal crashes happened over weekends from Friday to Sunday. % of Fatal Crashes per Time of Day 10 8 6 4 2 0 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 2009 2010 • The above information shows the percentage of crashes for the respective hours of the day during 2009-2010. • Most crashes occurred between 16h00 to 22h00.

Of the drivers tested for alcohol, 42% of those tested positive are women and 58% are male. Abuse of alcohol is especially prevalent amongst the urban upwardly mobile, the youth and other age categories in general, who do so mostly because they perceive the chances of being detected as being very low. Road crashes involving pedestrians are among the biggest contributor to fatalities on our roads. Both, urban and day-time offence rates show extremely high offence rates clearly indicating that pedestrians of all ages disregard road rules at great personal risk. Jay-walking, walking on freeways, drunken pedestrians and pedestrians not visible at night remain the biggest challenges. Only about 67% of front seat occupants buckle up and that too, for long journeys. The seat-belt wearing rate for short, local trips is significantly lower. Rear seat occupancy rate is at a dismal 2% nationally. Research indicates that if the seatbelt rate for front and rear seat passengers is improved to 80%, there would be an automatic 30% reduction in fatalities. * 90% of all crashes are preceded by one or more traffic violations; Which means most crashes are therefore caused by human error; …meaning it is an attitude and behavioural problem; Approach therefore requires decisive and vigorous, targeted and consistent enforcement RSA is a signatory to the United Nations Decade of Action campaign.
