4. • According with the RSA
the rules of the road are
divided into:
-Drivers
-Pedestrians
-Motorcyclists
-Horse-riders
-Cyclists
The purpose of the Rules of
the Road is to save lives and
prevent injury on our roads.

of the Rules of the Road is

5. Sometimes collisions with
animals can have many
negative consequences:
• Loss of valuable livestock
or pets
• Vehicle damage
• Injury to, or death of,
vehicle occupants
• Roadkill is a distasteful
sight, particularly costly
to locations economically
reliant on tourism
• There are three potential ways to
change driver behavior. Primary
methods is changing driver attitude by
increasing public awareness and helping
people understand that preventing road
kill will benefit their community.
• The second potential way is to make
people aware of specific hazardous areas
by use of signage, rumble strips or
lighting.
• The third potential way is to slow
traffic using speed bumps.
