joint roadblock on the N1 north freewayThe City believes for the operation to meet the intended purpose of decreasing road crashes and fatalities, it needs the cooperation of all road users.

Tshwane Mayor Randall Williams who is leading the operation says, “Over the last Easter weekend, we had 222 road accidents which resulted in 270 fatalities. So, we want to make sure that not only accidents but also fatalities come down – as those fatalities also involved pedestrians on the highway. We can educate people to cross pedestrian bridges and walk a bit further [from the highway] and don’t just run across the highway.

MEC Mavhungu Lerule-Ramakhanya has warned motorists not to speed and that they will also conduct roadworthiness tests on vehicles on the roadside.
