We promote safer roads in the Western Cape through education, and strategic and integrated traffic management.

Traffic law enforcement

Provincial traffic officers maintain law and order for all types of transport through integrated traffic policing operations and other initiatives:

  • Roadblocks
  • Fatigue awareness
  • Average Speed Over Distance (ASOD) camera system
  • Central communication centres to track the movement of patrol motor vehicle on any roadway
  • Alcohol evidentiary centres

We launched the Random Breath Testing (RBT) Initiative together with municipalities and national government in 2017. During an RBT operation, traffic officers conduct rapid, lightweight, vehicle check points (VCPs) at multiple locations in a single shift.

Road safety management and education

We inform and teach different road user groups – pedestrians, drivers, passengers and non-motorised transport users. We also customise our campaigns for particular age groups – children, youth, adults and seniors.

Danny Cat is our road safety mascot created to appeal to young children, particularly learners between Grade R and Grade 3. He adds an element of excitement while creating awareness about road safety.

Preschools and primary schools can book a session with Danny Cat by calling Road Safety Management on 021 483 6971.
