The Western Cape MEC of Transport Robin Carlisle said that close to 18 000 people die on South African roads every year.

Department Spokesperson Siphesihle Dube said there is a prevalence of pedestrian deaths.

Dube also said that the statistics are very alarming, saying that restraints are ignored in the country as a whole.
