Safety planning

Awareness of safety principles during the planning stages of a new area or of a road project

PLANNING CAN BE CONSIDERED IN FOUR (4) STAGES:

• Laying out the land-use of the area
• An arterial road network should be defined to cater through traffic
• Careful control and management of access can facilitate safety and the smooth flow of
traffic
• Careful planning and public transport facilities can ensure that the conflict areas between
pedestrians and vehicles are minimized.
