Traffic Control Devices &
Road Traffic Legislations• Form the very basis of a safe, efficient and disciplined traffic
management system.
• Devices not installed or contrary to the standards prescribed
or not in conjunction with the traffic legislations, road traffic
violations and crashes increase resulting in a fall of road
user culture.
• Uniformity assists road users, law enforcement agencies,
accident investigation and traffic courts by providing all the
same interpretation uniformity assists highway engineers
through efficiency in installations, maintenance and
administration.
