Hi GG, et al, While the response is appreciated, it is apparently clear IMHO that internal audits for safety standards do not work for us. Further, it is almost evident that no one can be held accountable or responsible for Road Safety other than myself. IMHO an independently entity such as NEMA should be mandated to ensure the bare minimum road safety standards such as markings, signage, safety engineering, are in place on our roads. Absence should lead to automatic closures of the roads until the safety features are implemented. For instance, the so called black-spots have been at the same location for decades. Sadly even the bare minimum signage, that one is approaching a black-spot, is missing let alone re-engineering the road to eliminate the problem (be it a social or technical cause). With economic growth, we can expect to have many new including young and old drivers coming onto the roads every day. Without some basic safety standards and guidelines we can bet the carnage will only get worse. As such if road safety is entirely my sole responsibility then excuse my cynicism and probably that of others when using our roads. my 2 cents. Michuki. On 5/30/12 11:32 AM, Grace Githaiga wrote:
