BACKGROUND
The Department of Transport has developed a national transport strategy to address the challenges
experienced by our rural communities. Transport is a basic necessity for sustainable social and
economic development. Transport can also play a catalytic role in addressing poverty and
development needs as well as correcting spatial distortion. It follows from these that the rural
transport implementation plan is responding to the priorities and the needs of district municipalities
and province.
To overcome the challenges in the residential and industrial areas and to ensure equitable
distribution of sources government departments, NGOs and the business community are acting
collectively to respond to social and economic crisis facing our country.
The strategy is aimed at developing balanced and sustainable public transport systems by supporting
local infrastructure and services. Parallel to the Rural Development programme, the Department is
also addressing mobility challenges facing learners in the urban schools. The emphasis is to improve
access roads, develop passable roads, and address neglected infrastructure and corridors, which are
linked to markets, provide feeder systems to stations and other social services.
Walking is a major mode of transport in general, and the dominant mode of travel in rural areas. For
journeys to work, walking is main of travel for 23% of South Africans (and 53% of commuters in
rural). The majority of scholars and students – 76% - walk to their educational institutions. In rural
areas and even higher percentage – 91% - do so. Walking and cycling, which is less common – are
not lower – income, second best options. The challenge is to make walking and cycling the preferred
modes in South Africa for the appropriate distances. They are least expensive modes and therefore
most accessible for the majority of commuters, as well as the most attractive from and environment
perspective.
To enable and support walking and cycling, planning authorities need to build, expand and maintain
continuous networks of formal walking (sidewalks, off-road paths, safe crossings, pedestrian bridges
etc) and dedicated cycleway along lines of high demand. A major objective of providing dedicated
infrastructure is to protect walkers and cyclists from conflict with motorised modes, a leading cause
of road traffic fatalities. Non-motorised transport is a pleasant, realistic choice only when security is
addressed. When quality NMT infrastructure and amenities are provided, as they are with other
modes, this mode competes on the world stage.
A pedestrian safety master plan that provides a comprehensive framework for improving pedestrian
safety and mobility in the CoT regions was conducted and is available. The objectives of the
Pedestrian Safety Master Plan is mainly focused on improved safety and efficiency for pedestrians by
implementing traffic calming measures, provision of formal public transport facilities, road markings
and road signage, pedestrian walkways.
