MPUMALANGA TO PROMOTE TOURISM AND ROAD SAFETY

MPUMALANGA TO PROMOTE TOURISM AND ROAD SAFETY

Premier DD Mabuza and MEC for Community Safety, Security & Liaison Mr Vusi Shongwe will promote tourism and road safety on 04 December 2014 at Mbombela Stadium.

The theme for this year’s road safety campaign is “When the sun rises, we are making our roads safer” which is in line with the province’s new pay-off line “Mpumalanga, the place of the rising sun”. As the tourist destination of choice, the province’s attributes and beauty will be highlighted to increase and welcome visitors to home away from home.

The main purpose of the campaign is to drastically reduce road crashes that cause injuries, loss of life, and heavy financial burden on the state, victims and families of those that are affected or involved. These accidents are usually caused by the disobeying of road traffic rules and regulations, driving under the influence of alcohol, fatigue, road rage, and others.
    

The campaign seeks to instill a sense of responsibility through road safety education, visible traffic law enforcement, operations and provision of crash information analysis. It is the responsibility of each and every road user to know and obey the rules and regulations of the road.
