in Cape Town." Road transport safety South Africa's road traffic system might be less effective than most industrial countries but is not worst that other African nations. South Africa has an institutional framework for road safety led by the Road Traffic Management Corporation. South African laws follow global best practice, including speed limits, drink-driving, motorcycle helmets, seat-belts, child restraints and mobile phone use. South Africa counts 26 deaths each year for 100,000 people (260 per million) a higher rate than the global average of 18 per 100,000 (180 per millions). In 2021, the country recorded 12 541 road fatalities, for 11 726 476 vehicles (7.6 million motor vehicles and over 2.6 million light delivery vehicles/bakkies). With "Motor vehicle" means powered units including motorcycle, motor tricycle, motor car, vehicle which has pedals and a mechanically/electrically powered unit or light delivery vehicle known as bakkie. People killed in road accidents are mostly pedestrians: 37.6%; passengers: 32% and drivers: 27%. 58% of road deaths are attributed to alcohol use, which makes alcohol a leading factor in such fatalities. South Africa had the highest number of drunk driving incidents among WHO survey (see Driving under the influence) Pedestrian (37% of deaths) may be affected by a 60 km/hr posted speed limit in residential and urban areas, a speed so excessive that it reduces pedestrians chance of survival to make such a chance very minimal. Also, in South Africa rate for front seat seatbelt-wearing is 31% (lower than Norway's 95%), and between 45 and 60% for drivers. Vehicle maintenance issues causes 9% of road accident, including tyres, brakes and lights issues. When vehicle safety is involved, tire is the first issue in 41% of vehicle factors. When a crash is considered major, crash type is often head-on (44%), multi vehicles (16%) and T-Bone (15%). Railways In 2000, South Africa had 20,384 km of rail transport, all of it narrow gauge. 20,070 km was gauge (9,090 km of that electrified), with the remaining 314 km gauge. The operation of the country's rail systems is accomplished by Transnet subsidiaries Transnet Freight Rail, Shosholoza Meyl, Metrorail, Transnet Engineering, Protekon et al. A feasibility study is to be conducted into the construction of a 720 km of (standard gauge) line from Johannesburg to Durban for double-stack container trains. On 2010-06-07 the Gautrain opened between Oliver R Tambo International Airport (ORTIA) and Sandton. This is the first stage of a
