Abstract

Paper presented at the 23rd Annual Southern African Transport Conference 12 - 15 July 2004 "Getting recognition for the importance of transport", CSIR International Convention Centre, Pretoria, South Africa. Potgieter Street, one of the major access routes to the Central Business District (CBD) of the City of Tshwane, has become notorious for runaway heavy vehicle accidents. Although measures were implemented previously to improve the situation, it became apparent that these measures did not yield the anticipated effect of drastically reducing accidents. This paper gives an overview of comprehensive investigations that were undertaken to understand the causes of accidents and to investigate additional measures to reduce the risk of heavy vehicle accidents.
