Road Safety In South Africa

Road Safety In South Africa – A Focus For Many

Road safety in South Africa has been in question for many years and has gradually become a focus for a large number of companies and groups operating in the country.  While each and every road user is expected to make responsible and cautious use of the roads, not many do and for this reason a large variety of road safety awareness campaigns have been introduced along with various products and features being installed on the roads.

Encouragement for Increased Road Safety on South African Roads

It is a common known fact that too many innocent lives are lost on our roads due to negligent drivers and in some instances, the state of the roads. There are many campaigns in place encouraging better road safety on South African roads, and for good reason. Drivers are encouraged to become more aware, alert and cautious while making use of the roads. It is the collective goal of a number of road safety initiatives to ensure that South African roads become more forgiving not just to drivers, but to passengers, pedestrians and road workers alike.

Road safety in South Africa is encouraged with the installation of a number of products and features designed and manufactured by Armco RSP. We are responsible for ensuring that South African roads steadily become a safer place to be. The products that we manufacture are designed to warn of danger or potential danger and also ensure that should an accident still occur, that minimal damage or injury is suffered. Our road safety products and features are designed to save lives and with this in mind they need to be durable and meet with safety standards in the country.

With safety standards being a number one priority we set about ensuring that our products are manufactured according to the SABS ISO 9002 quality and safety standards. All our safety features are designed and manufactured at our own SABS ISO 1461 hot dip galvanising plant. Here we make use of only the finest materials and quality test our products to ensure that they will be able to withstand the harsh conditions found on South African roads. We make use of UV resistant paints and inks, as well as reflective products to ensure that our items are highly visible both day and night, and are not prone to fade, crack or peel when exposed to harsh weather conditions.

We present a wide range of road safety and construction products to the market including Melba road safety cones, soft road safety cones, wire rope safety fences, guard rails, barrier guards, quad guard systems, Stack Man barriers, Iron Man barriers, Monster Man barriers, safe hit channelisers, truck mounted attenuators, stop blocks and speed ramps to name just a few. This range is always changing as we spend time seeking out ways to improve on it, and add to it.  

At Armco RSP we offer to design, manufacture and professionally install the road safety products and features on our catalogue. For those who would prefer to do a self installation, DIY instructions are available on request. Once our products are installed, we are always available to do repairs, maintenance and replacements should they become damaged.

Each and every road user is encouraged to take road safety in South Africa seriously. Being aware of other driver’s on the road and taking their safety into consideration as well as your own is the only way to ensure that less lives are lost and that the roads become safer.
