Weekly road safety report: 28 February to 6 March 2018
Forensic Pathology Services data indicates 28 people were killed between 28 February to 6 March on Western Cape roads. Sixty-four percent of these fatalities were pedestrians (18), and four were passengers.
“We are concerned at the number of pedestrians who were killed this week. This is in spite of the ongoing road safety education activities of our Directorate: Road Safety Management in schools and in communities,” said Farrel Payne, Director: Provincial Traffic Law Enforcement. “We strongly encourage pedestrians to wear visible clothing at night, and drivers to take extra care wherever pedestrians walk on and near our roads”, he added.
