How does South African government provide support to challenges of accidents and risky behaviours among people in arrive alive
Answers
Answer:
Government’s Arrive Alive(link is external) Road-Safety Campaign has become an important part of the Department of Transport’s road safety projects and awareness efforts, especially during critical periods for road traffic management such as Easter and the December holidays.
At the end of 2015, it was announced that the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) could not use the Arrive Alive campaign anymore, as it had been registered as a brand. The safety campaign remains in place, operating under the name 365 Days of Road Safety Programme, which would focus on creating awareness all year round.
The goals of the campaign are to:
reduce the number of road-traffic accidents in general, and fatalities in particular, by 5% compared with the same period the previous year
improve road-user compliance with traffic laws
forge improved working relationships between traffic authorities in the various spheres of government.
The campaign emphasised that the reduction in road deaths was urgent and non-negotiable. The Road Accident Fund (RAF)(link is external) pays out about R15 billion to victims of road accidents every year.
