The research findings confirmed the study’s hypotheses that (1) road traffic safety and the effective countering of road traffic crashes in particular, were hampered by a deficient database and data-gathering processes in South Africa; and (2) South African road traffic safety agencies would be agreeable to rectifying the deficiencies, e.g. by integrating verified road traffic safety/crash data into a comprehensive road traffic safety databank.enNational road traffic safety databankNRTSDRoad traffic managementArticleMynhardt, D.
