• Introducing RAL• Prov Management Framework• Road Network• Road Management Strategy• Priority Roads• Criteria for Tarring• Tarring Programme• Conclusion

Rationale & Context• In 1994 over 5 000 personnel were

responsible for roads.• Unskilled personnel were not proportionately

distributed in regions/districts.• Excess staff in general.• Shortage of labourers in some regions.• Shortage of managers. • A larger portion of the budget went into

salaries and wages.• Moratorium on appointment of personnel.

New Role• Road network to be repositioned to serve

a new role.• Support the political agenda of democracy,

integration and unity.• It must promote access to different

geographic and cultural areas.• Support economic growth and

development.• Prioritise unconnected communities.• Provide affordable access to areas of

social and economic opportunities.

RAL Established• Roads Agency established to own and

manage Provincial roads.• Only a small and key engineering staff was

transferred.• It had to remain small and agile.• Rely on private sector for roads delivery. • No equipment, no workshops & no

labourers.• Fast procurement process and specialised

staff.• Mandate: BE DIFFERENT – BE EFFICIENT

Shareholding• MEC a shareholder on behalf of government.• Responsible for:

– Setting strategic direction.– Providing the budget.– Approving annual business plan.

• Shareholder’s Expectations:– Maintenance of roads in acceptable condition

relative to budget.– Spending the budget on time.– Compliance with laws, policies, and

regulations.– Achieving business plan objectives.

Legal Framework• NPRA & Provincial Roads Act 7

of 1998.– Gives it ownership and

management of roads.– Planning, design, construction,

maintenance, rehabilitation, and control.

Legal Framework• This means that:

– The provincial govt has full powers and responsibility over provincial roads.

– Any legislation required has to be passed by the legislature.

– The Agency has a legal responsibility as an owner.

– The directors are legally answerable for its operations and conduct.

Prov Mangement Framework• Roads classified according to

functional hierachy.• Ownership goes accordingly.• Each roads authority is backed by

constitution and laws. • Roads have to be developed and

maintained irrespective of ownership authority.

• All Roads Authorities need to cooperate to preserve the integrity of the network.

Creating Prov Framework• Provincial roads have been classified

accordingly• Gazzetted all as public roads.• Transferring some to national govt.• SANRAL taken about 1 500km.• Gazzetted the transfer of all municipal

roads to districts.• Districts to agree on the classification

with local municipalities.• All roads authorities have to plan

together.

ROAD NETWORK

• 22 062km, Only 6 638km tarred.

• Former Transvaal better:

– Waterberg 1 995km

– Vhembe 1 287km

– Capricorn 867km

– Mopani 1 181km

– Sekhukhune 1 308km

ROAD MANAGEMENT STRATEGY• Priority is preventative maintenance to avoid

deterioration.• Selective routine maintenance

– Prioritise patching of potholes.– Installation and cleaning of drainage

structures.– Selective/Spot improvements of gravel

roads– Limited regravelling– Seasonal grass-cutting in some areas

• Tarring new roads.

CRITERIA FOR TARRING• Tarring of priority roads

– Connecting the Province.– Connecting North to South and East to West.– Creating a grid pattern.– 10km to a tarred road for everyone. – High traffic volumes (600 vehicles/day.– Linking settlements with areas of social and

economic opportunities.– Prioritizing neglected/isolated areas. – Connecting mining, tourism and agricultural dev

areas.

PRIORITY ROADS • Agricultural roads

– 1 921km at R7.684b.– Overlaps with tourism roads.

• Tourism – 2 771km at R11.084b.– Overlaps with agricultural roads.

• Mining – 668km at R2 672b.

• Hospital access roads.– 183.5km at R734m

• Priority network – Total is 3 300km.– Costing R13.2b.
