Die Wes-Kaapse departement van mobiliteit het 27 ongelukke en 34 sterftes op die provinsie se paaie gedurende die tydperk 22 tot 28 Desember 2025 aangeteken. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tragies genoeg was 14 van hierdie sterftes voetgangers, wat die voortgesette kwesbaarheid van mense wat gedurende die feestyd op paaie loop, beklemtoon.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Provinsiale verkeersdienste het gedurende di\u00e9 week altesaam 103 inhegtenisnemings uitgevoer, waarvan 73 vir bestuur onder die invloed van alkohol was, terwyl 15 inhegtenisnemings vir die besit van bedrieglike dokumente was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘n Verdere 301 spoedoortredings is aangeteken, met die hoogste spoed 167\u2009km\/h wat in ‘n 120\u2009km\/h sone gemeet is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Om riskante gedrag te bekamp, \u200b\u200bis altesaam 199 ge\u00efntegreerde padblokkades, voertuigbedheerpunte en spoedbeheeroptredes reg oor die Wes-Kaap uitgevoer.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tydens hierdie optredes is meer as 32\u2009000 voertuie voorgekeer en nagegaan en meer as 7\u2009900 boetes is uitgereik vir verskeie verkeersoortredings, wat wissel van bestuurdersgeskiktheid tot voertuigonpadwaardigheid.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bestuur onder die invloed en voetgangersterftes het groot bekommernisse oor die afgelope feestyd gebly.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daarbenewens het sewe fietsryers en nege motorfietsryers die afgelope feestyd tragies hul lewe op Wes-Kaapse paaie verloor, wat die uiterste kwesbaarheid van tweewielpadgebruikers beklemtoon.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Wes-Kaapse minister van mobiliteit, Isaac Sileku, het ges\u00ea “die verlies van 34 lewens in net een week is ‘n harde herinnering dat onveilige gedrag op ons paaie verwoestende gevolge het”.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Heeltemal te veel van hierdie voorvalle \u2013 veral di\u00e9 wat alkohol en kwesbare padgebruikers betref, is heeltemal voorkombaar. Namate ons deur die somer voortgaan, doen ek ‘n beroep op elke padgebruiker om verantwoordelike keuses te maak, na mekaar om te sien, geduldig en waaksaam op ons paaie te wees en ons te help verseker dat almal veilig by hul bestemming aankom,” het Sileku ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maxine Bezuidenhout, die Wes-Kaapse verkeersbestuurshoof het ges\u00ea: “Ons verkeersbeamptes bly reg oor die provinsie hoogs sigbaar, met voortdurende padversperrings, spoedhandhawing en voertuigkontroles wat 24 uur per dag plaasvind. Maar handhawing alleen is nie genoeg nie. Padveiligheid kom uiteindelik neer op individuele keuses om te kies om nie te drink en te bestuur nie, stadiger te ry en meer bewus te wees van voetgangers, fietsryers en motorfietsryers, wat steeds die kwesbaarste op ons paaie is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Dit is moontlik om geen sterftes op ons paaie te behaal as almal hul deel doen. Met die vakansie op ‘n einde en die somer wat voortduur, herinner die departement alle padgebruikers daaraan dat veiligheid van individuele keuses en verantwoordelike gedrag afhang.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wenke vir padgebruikers: \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dronkbestuur\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 As jy beplan om te drink, re\u00ebl ‘n aangewese bestuurder, gebruik openbare vervoer of bespreek ‘n saamrydiens.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Onthou dat selfs klein hoeveelhede alkohol oordeel en reaksietyd benadeel, en om “net ‘n kort entjie” te ry, is nie die risiko werd nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
VEILIGHEID VAN VOETGANGERS\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Moenie op paaie loop wanneer jy onder die invloed van alkohol is nie. Alkohol be\u00efnvloed jou balans, bewustheid en besluitneming, wat die risiko verhoog om deur ‘n voertuig getref te word.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Dra helder of weerkaatsende klere in die nag en steek paaie slegs waar moontlik by aangewese voetgangeroorgange oor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fietsryers<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Dra altyd ‘n valhelm en maak seker dat jou fiets duidelik sigbaar is, met werkende ligte en weerkaatsers, veral toestande waar min lig is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Ry defensief, gehoorsaam verkeersre\u00ebls en voorspel en verwag die optrede van ander padgebruikers te alle tye.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Motorfietsryers\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Dra beskermende rytoerusting, insluitend ‘n gesertifiseerde valhelm, handskoene en beskermende klere elke keer as jy ry.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Handhaaf ‘n veilige volgafstand en moenie te vinnig ry nie veral nie op onbekende roetes nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die departement herhaal sy verbintenis tot ho\u00ebsigbaarheids- handhawing reg oor die provinsie hierdie somer. Handhawing alleen kan egter nie lewens red nie; elke padgebruiker het ‘n rol om te speel om te verseker dat reise veilig eindig en dat gesinne nie in rou gelaat word nie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
