PEDESTRIANS ON THE HIGHWAY: These photos were taken on 24 March 2024 along the N4 highway between Pretoria and Rustenburg, in the vicinity of Bapong (South Africa). For many people, not even a pedestrian bridge will stop them from walking over the highway.
Road deaths and injuries to pedestrians, as a result of motor vehicle collisions, rank the highest across most (if not all) categories.
We are noticing a steady increase of pedestrians walking across highways throughout the country. One of the many reasons for this is that private public transport operators stop on the highways adjacent to nearby settlements / townships so that their passengers may climb out. Increased road safety awareness campaigns and visible traffic law enforcement is desperately and consistently needed❗️
Please be alert and drive safely. 🙏
