Promoting road safety since 1996.

The National Road Safety Council is a statutory body, created in 1996 by section 2 of the National Road Safety Act, Act 9 of 1972. The NRSC’s mandate is to promote, raise awareness, engage stakeholders and advocate for road safety within Namibia whilst ensuring all necessary efforts are taken towards preventing traffic deaths and injuries with the view of making Namibia’s road network one of the safest in Africa and the World. The council is also empowered to:
- Prepare and systematically carry out a road safety research program in conjunction with the National Transport Commission.
- Collate and analyse road accident data to assess associated risks and disseminate appropriate information to road users by any means deemed fit for such purpose.
- Provide guidance on road safety where necessary.
- Consult with all parties concerned in an effort to assist the Minister in combating road accidents.
- Make inquiries into and report on any matter relating to road safety at the request of the Minister.
- Perform any other task falling within the ambit of the Act as the Minister may impose.
- Make recommendations to the Minister on Council resolution that cannot take effect due to legal impediments.
- Prepare and carry out road safety education programs and other accident prevention measures.

On Friday, the National Road Safety Council (NRSC) joined the Automobile Association of Namibia (AA Namibia) and other stakeholders at the Women in Road Safety Activity Day, held at Market Plein Lawn in Otjiwarongo, to promote women’s empowerment and safer roads.

The activity day focused on practical road-safety measures, crash statistics in the Otjozondjupa Region and the important role women can play in preventing road crashes. Participants also gained practical vehicle maintenance knowledge and essential road-safety skills to encourage confidence, preparedness and responsible road use.

With the festive season approaching, Women in Road Safety Forum Chairperson Tuhafeni Shilongo called on women to raise road-safety awareness and share practical safety advice within their communities, particularly as more people prepare to travel for the holidays.

She also highlighted the need for greater female participation in road-safety initiatives, emphasising that women, as drivers, passengers, pedestrians, parents and caregivers, can help promote safer behaviour, educate children and discourage dangerous practices on the roads.
