Road safety remains one of South Africa’s most pressing public safety challenges. Despite having one of the most extensive road infrastructures in the world, the country continues to experience an alarming number of road fatalities. Over the past few years, South Africa has recorded an average of 12,000 deaths on its roads annually, approximately one fatality for every 100,000 people. This fatality rate is nearly double the global average, highlighting the urgent need for stronger road safety interventions and responsible road user behaviour.
