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

Rationale & Context In 1994 over 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 –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 km, 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.

TARRING PROGRAMME Drawn a ten-year tarring programme. Total priority network is 3 300km at R13,2 billion. Developed a four-year plan. Pledge to do 1 320km in 4 years. Need to tar 330km pa at R1 320m. Average annual budget of R500m. Can only tar 125km pa. Will take about 11 years to tar 1 320km. Will take 26 years to tar 3 300km. Backlog growing annually.

CONCLUSION Funding not enough. Increase funding to reduce backlog. ………….End………………………..
