Road safety operations across Gauteng have been intensified as the festive season draws to an end and holidaymakers are expected to return home.
Spokesperson for the Provincial Department of Community Safety, Sello Maremane, says traffic officers have collaborated with other law enforcement agencies including the police and JMPD to ensure law and order on the roads.
Maremane says major routes leading into the province are expected to experience heavy traffic volumes over the coming days.
“Major routes leading into the province are expected to experience heavy traffic volumes over the coming days. In response, law enforcement agencies have increased patrols, roadblocks and high-visibility operations to curb reckless behaviour, prevent road crashes and reduce fatalities,” says Maremane.
He has urged everyone to obey the rules of the road.
“Motorists, passengers and pedestrians are urged to exercise extreme caution and obey the rules of the road. Law enforcement officers will act decisively against drunken driving, reckless and negligent driving, speeding and jaywalking, as these remain among the leading contributors to serious crashes and loss of life on Gauteng roads,” he adds.
