Traffic law enforcement officials will be on high alert as South Africa gears up for another long weekend.
The Gauteng MEC for Community Safety, Sizakele Nkosi-Malobane has appealed to road users to exercise caution on the roads and avoid unnecessary crashes and fatalities.
Malobane says that long weekends are heightened periods characterized by long distance travelling for various purposes in and out of the Gauteng province.
“Our authorities will be on high alert to deal decisively with road traffic violations. Road safety is everyone’s responsibility and I urge our motorists to ensure compliance with the rules of the road as we approach the long weekend.”
Malobane says road crashes and fatalities contribute to the alarming rate of disabilities and deaths in the province.
“This is largely attributed to the attitude and behavior of road users. Substance abuse and vehicle fitness are just some of the challenges that compound the situation on our roads.”
Malobane says Law Enforcement Officers will also be conducting regular mobile testing operations focusing particularly on public transport and freight transport.
