Provincial Strategic Objective 3• Outcome 1: 13% modal shift, private to public
transport by 2014,
• Outcome 2: Shift in freight haulage from road to rail
increasing by 10% by 2014
• Outcome 3: Reducing road fatalities by 50% by 2014
• Outcome 4: Reduce the transport infrastructure
backlog by 16% by 2014
Projects• Average speed over distance• Shadow Centres (Alcohol Evidence Centres)• Digital communication platform (website)• Intelligence and data centre (crash statistical analysis)
Average speed over distance• A new approach to
provincial speed enforcement
• Identified road: Beaufort West to Aberdeen : R61
• Project Start Date – 1 July 2011
• Launched– 30 October 2011

ASOD: the sites
ASOD: intended outcome
ASOD: Italian outcome• Fewer Accidents = Fewer Injuries + Deaths• Survey Italy– Source: Autostrade– Operational since 2009 on 2,220 km of roads• Statistics:• Accidents dropped 19%• Injuries dropped 27%• Deaths dropped 51%
ASOD: impact
Shadow Centres• PPP with SAB Miller to establish
Alcohol Evidence Centres (Safely Home Anti Drunk Driving Operational War Rooms: contributing a maximum of R1 000 000 per centre)– Athlone
• Opened December 2009– George
• opened December 2010– Worcester
• completed and to open soon– West Coast
• in planning process of site identification

Impact of S v Hendricks• Major findings
– Breath alcohol testing is Constitutional– State must use all means at disposal to fight the scourge of drinking
and driving, inclusive of Breath Alcohol Testing devices– The Dräger machine can be reliable if used in basic specification form
(problems with type endorsement, accreditation, regulations, calibration, servicing, standard operating procedures and training)
• Way forward– Task team has been created to address all issues and good progress is
being made
Website developmentDigital Communications Platform
• The development and implementation of a fully fledged platform that will incorporate all aspects of modern electronic media
• www.safelyhome.co.za
Intelligence and data • Need for – Interaction with all role players• Forensic Pathology Service• Freeway Management System• All local authorities and South African Police
– Availability and sharing of up to date statistical information
– Study of trends and management of outcomes
Fatalities: monthly comparison
