Zikhusele ezindleleni kobu busika

UMzantsi Afrika ubekwe njengelona lizwe liyingozi ukuqhuba kulo ehlabathini iminyaka emibini ilandelelana, ngokwengxelo yeZutobi ethi World’s Safest and Most Dangerous Roads.

Njengoko iiholide zesikolo ziqala ngeli xesha lasebusika, abantu abaninzi baza kuhamba kwiindlela ezahlukeneyo kwilizwe liphela. Iqumrhu lolawulo lwendlela iRoad Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) lisandula ukulumkisa ngelithi iimeko zemozulu zasebusika zinegalelo elikhulu kwiziganeko zokubhubha kwabantu, inyanga yeSilimela inomyinge wokusweleka kwabantu abangaphezu kwewaka ngonyaka kule minyaka mine idlulileyo.

UXolisa Bangazi onguMlawuli oPhetheyo wePEG uthi iiholide zasebusika zinika ixesha lokuya kubethwa ngumoya kwiintsapho ezininzi. "Kodwa amaxesha amaninzi, abaqhubi bayasilela ukuqonda ukuba iimeko zendlela zinokutshintsha ngokukhawuleza. Into ebonakala ngathi yinkungu engenabungozi, okanye ikhephu elinomfanekiso ogqibeleleyo unokujika ube yingozi ngokukhawuleza. Iingozi ezizifihla emva kweendlela ezibukekayo akufunekanga zijongelwe phantsi," utshilo uBangazi.

Imimandla eyahlukeneyo yaseMzantsi Afrika ukusuka kwiindlela zeentaba zaseCeres nakwezinye iindawo zeNtshona Koloni ukuya kwiindlela eziphakamileyo zaseFreyistata naseMpuma Koloni zithanda ukuba nemingcipheko yasebusika njengekhephu, inkungu, imvula, nomkhenkce. Kutshanje, ikhephu elinamandla kunye nemvula ephazamisayo ikhokelele kwizikhukula ezibangele ukuvalwa kweendlela ezinkulu kunye neengozi ezininzi eMpuma Koloni.

Ngaphambi kokuba uhambe kuhambo lwakho lwasebusika, nazi iingcebiso zokhuseleko ezivela kuBangazi onokuzisebenzisa:

• Yenza uphando lwakho: Phanda ukuba ngaba le ndawo uqhuba kuyo ithanda ukukhukula na, ukuwa kwamatye, okanye ukonakaliswa zizaqhwithi. Iiforam zasekuhlaleni okanye amaqela asekuhlaleni [kumaqonga onxibelelwano] ahlala ebonelela ngohlaziyo malunga nokuba kuqhubeka ntoni. Oku kubaluleke ngakumbi ukuba uya kwiindawo ongaziqhelanga kwiihambo ezingacwangciswanga ukuya kubona ikhephu, umzekelo.

• Ukuba uqikelelo lwemozulu yimozulu embi, zicingisise izicwangciso zakho: Ukuwa kwekhephu okanye iimvula ezinkulu zinokwenza iindlela zityibilike kwaye zibe mbi kwaye zibangele ukuvalwa kwendlela kunye nezithintelo. Abasemagunyeni basekuhlaleni baza kucebisa ngokuchasene nokuhamba, ngaphandle kokuba kuyimfuneko.

• Qaphela umoya: Imimoya ebhudla ngamandla inokwenza ukuqhuba, ingakumbi kwiindawo ezivulekileyo okanye eziselunxwemeni, kube nzima ngakumbi. Gcina ulibambe nkqi ivili lokuqhuba, unciphise isantya, kwaye unike izithuthi ezinkulu, ezinde, isithuba esongezelelweyo.

• Sebenzisa izixhobo zexesha lokwenyani lokuhamba: IiApps ezinje ngoGoogle Maps kunye neWaze zibonelela ngezilumkiso zangoku zokuvalwa kweendlela, iingozi, okanye iimeko ezinobungozi ezizayo, ezikunceda utshintshe indlela yakho njengokuba uhamba.

• Fumana indawo yokusithela: Ikhefu elithathwa rhoqo linciphisa ukudinwa okunguyena nobangela weengozi zendlela kwaye likhuthaza abahambi okanye abantu ukuba basebenzise izinto eziluncedo ezifumaneka kwizikhululo zamafutha ezisebenza ngokuzeleyo kule mihla. Izikhululo zamafutha kule mihla ayizondawo zokugcwalisa nje amafutha, ziindawo eziluncedo zokuphumla, ukuzihlaziya, kunye nokhuseleko ngexesha lohambo olude, ingakumbi kwiintsapho, kubaqhubi beeloli abahamba imigama emide, nabakhenkethi.

• Yazi ixesha lokujika: Ukuba iimeko azikhuselekanga, kulungile ukubuyela umva. Ukufika emva kwexesha kuhlala kungcono kunohambo oluyingozi.
