Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The 14 road safety measures announced on Thursday take effect immediately. In general, they comprise better enforcement of traffic rules, but there are some in particular that change life on the roads.<\/p>\n

For example, one of the biggest culprits is speeding. To address this, one measure is to \u201crevisit speed limits and improve road signage, giving priority to already-mapped critical points (\u201cblack spots\u201d) and remove fixed obstacles on the sides of the public road\u201d, Ministry of Transport spokesman Ambr\u00f3sio Sitoe explained.<\/p>\n

Another measure is the \u201cban on the new licensing of inter-district transport for 15-seater vehicles over distances greater than 100 kilometres and limit to two the renewals for the already licensed vehicles\u201d. That is, those who operate \u201cchapas\u201d with a licence have until 2024 to either buy new vehicles or limit circulation to within cities.<\/p>\n

In addition, offenders involved in road accidents involving serious negligence that result in death will be immediately arrested, along with those involved in irregular overtaking, driving under the influence of alcohol, travelling more than 20 km\/h faster than the speed limit and other offences.<\/p>\n

Various documents are now liable to be seized. \u201cRevocation of driving licence of transgressors who commit medium and serious misdemeanours, under the terms provided for by law; seizure of the identification document of the vehicle found circulating without offering the security conditions required under the law; immediate reintroduction of alcohol testing while driving and zero tolerance for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs,\u201d are among the offences mentioned.<\/p>\n

As a long-term measure, \u201cthe review of the Highway Code, Regulations for Transport in motor vehicles and trailers(RTA) and other legislation is underway, with a view to aggravating penalties in road traffic and reorganising the licensing of transport activity\u201d is being considered.<\/p>\n

Prior to entering into force, the proposal announced by the Ministry of Transport must be harmonised and submitted for approval by the Council of Ministers, which may forward it to the Assembly of the Republic, the body with the competence to approve any change in the Highway Code.<\/p>\n

The measures being considered were all designed by a scientific road safety commission, which includes various institutions involved in mobility, including civil society.<\/p>\n
