THE SOUTH African National Roads Agency
SOC Ltd (SANRAL) in partnership with local law
enforcement authorities, provincial governments
and various agencies from the Department of
Transport have adopted a sophisticated approach
to road safety management.
The Intelligent Transport System (ITS) uses
technology to manage traffi c and provide road
users with traffi c conditions on a real-time basis.
The system employs CCTV cameras, enhanced
communications, traffi c detection and traffi c
information devices to continuously monitor all
the freeways. To further support ITS, SANRAL
implemented a 24-hour On-Road Service (ORS)
along its major freeways in Gauteng. •
