ABSTRACT: Traffic law enforcement has been acknowledged internationally as one of the top government/justice activities at risk from corruption (Transparency International). The very nature of the activity and its face to face interaction between traffic officer and road user provides the ideal environment for unethical and corrupt behaviour. This paper examines the causes and effects of corruption within a road safety management context and recommends strategies to counter corruption and provide an environment with a commitment to ethical practice.enUniversity of PretoriaRoad safety managementTraffic law enforcementEthical standardsTransportation -- South Africa -- CongressesTraffic safety -- South Africa -- CongressesTraffic regulations -- South Africa -- CongressesTransportation -- Corrupt practices -- South Africa -- CongressesThe role of ethics and counter corruption planning in effective road safety managementPresentation
