Transport on road accidents and Arrive Alive
Pedestrians remain the most vulnerable road users and the number of fatalities involving pedestrians is unacceptably high. Motorists are urged to be on the lookout for pedestrians at night and when visibility is poor especially during this festive season, because pedestrians under the influence of alcohol are a walking danger. Pedestrians often under-estimate the speed and over-estimate the distance of an approaching vehicle when crossing the road. [highlighted result]
