For the past eleven months the West Coast has experienced a total of three thousand one hundred and sixty five (3165) accidents. According to research ninety five percent (95%) of all traffic accidents are preceded by a traffic contravention and caused by human error. Several interventions have been implemented such as "Safely Home" operations, Road Safety Education projects in order to facilitate positive road behaviour. Patients is often lacking when motorists are within the traffic environment, and one of the contributing factors is road construction works. Provincial Traffic would like motorists to be patient and to plan there journey. Motorists travelling on the N7 will be delayed due to road construction between Malmesbury and Piketberg until April 2011.
