On 28 June 2007 the 50 student traffic officers who received bursaries from
the Eastern Cape Department of Roads and Transport will be amongst the
graduates from the Port Elizabeth Traffic College. This ceremony will be held
at the Nangoza Jebe Hall. These new traffic officers will now increase our
Provincial Traffic Officers' contingent from 383 to 433. After the graduation
ceremony, they will be deployed as follows:
Graaf-Reinet (2), Aberdeen (5), Grahamstown (3), Cradock (5), Engcobo (5),
Sterkspruit (5), Maclear (5), Aliwal North (5), Maluti (5), Bizana (5) and Port
St Johns (5).
We are strengthening our capacity to ensure the success of our Arrive Alive
Campaign, which is a continuous and tactical programme that runs throughout the
year. This year, the Arrive Alive Plan provides an integrated enforcement plan
that responds to the demands of prevailing circumstances in an effective
way.
The focal areas are:
* driver fitness with emphasis on their documentation
* fatigue and alcohol abuse
* moving violations including illegal use of cellphones while driving
* passenger and freight transport
* vehicle fitness and registration plate enforcement
* pedestrian safety.
