Evaluation of statistical data is one of the pillars of the road safety management system. It helps us to determine what interventions need to be implemented to reduce serious road collisions, injuries and fatalities on our nation’s roads. Some of these would include improved vehicle standards, better road engineering and regular maintenance (barriers, surface of the roads, pavements, signage, lighting), updated legislation and accompanying enforcement options (spot speed cameras, red light cameras, demerit point system), education and awareness, transparent and rigorous licensing systems, and continued and improved training and professionalism of our emergency response services.

Evaluating statistical data is one of the pillars of the road safety management system; however, our NGO wishes to remind everyone that every statistic means one life lost or one life injured “too many”!
