E14: Pedestrian Safety Matters | Traffic Desk Zambia

Zambia continues to record a significant number of road traffic crashes involving pedestrians. In this important Road Safety Chat, we address a critical question: Are pedestrians doing enough to protect themselves? While enforcement and road engineering are often discussed, this video focuses on the legal responsibilities of pedestrians under: • Section 184 of the Road Traffic Act No. 11 of 2002 • Statutory Instrument No. 76 of 2022 In this episode, we explain: ✔ What legally defines a pedestrian ✔ Why you must use designated crossing points such as zebra crossings and footbridges ✔ Why pedestrian crossings may be removed where a footbridge exists ✔ The dangers of crossing while using a mobile phone ✔ Why wearing earphones while crossing reduces your awareness ✔ The importance of stopping, looking left, right and left again before crossing ✔ Why cyclists must disembark and push their bicycles when crossing Road safety is a shared responsibility. One careless decision by a pedestrian can result in serious injury or loss of life. Let’s protect ourselves and others by following the law and practising safe road behaviour. Watch, share and help us build a culture of responsible road use in Zambia. #TrafficDeskZambia #ZambiaRoadSafety #PedestrianSafety #UseTheFootbridge #RoadSafety #Zambia
