The City has re-launched its Road Incident Management System and introduced careful measures to prevent road accidents. Traffic Services have been separated from the Metro Police to focus on their core mandate and funding for traffic control which has increased. This has enabled the City to increase visible policing and cracking down on hazarders drivers.

Spokesperson for the Transport, Roads and Stormwater, Trevor Steyn says “the City of Cape Town together with its government partners are seriously looking at ways to improve traffic safety on our roads and also we take the investment in traffic safety very serious.”

Steyn says they will also be looking at how to manage an accident scene and how best to deal with it and so to make sure that there is an integrated approach. “We are also working on the establishment of a traffic management centre.” says Steyn.
