An interim report from the Ministry of Interior shows rise in traffic fatalities, as NGO figures show drop in accidents


The congested streets of Phnom Penh, perilous to the drivers who flood the city.

THE number of fatalities from traffic accidents is up from last year according to a temporary report from the Ministry of Interior, officials say.

"This year, traffic accident fatalities increased by 1.8 percent from last year," Keo Savin, department chief of land transportation at the Ministry of Public works, told the Post on Thursday, emphasising that these are only interim results.

According to the report, 1,545 people died in road accidents in 2007 compared with 1,572 deaths in 2008 to date.

"We always cooperate with NGOs, private companies, the public sector and citizens in order to reduce traffic accidents, and we usually broadcast to all people about the traffic law, but some of them don't care," said Keo Savin.

He said the overwhelming majority of fatalities were due to people not wearing helmets and driving drunk.

"In Cambodia, only 24 percent [of motorists] wear helmets," said Keo Savin, adding that "the accidents usually happen at nighttime because of the many drunken drivers".

Meas Channy, traffic safety officer at Handicap International, said the first seven months of 2007 saw 16,352 accidents, compared with 14,213 cases in the same period this year, according to Handicap International figures.

"However, the number of people who died in road accidents has increased.... More than four people now die on Cambodian roads each day," Meas Channy said.

"It is necessary for drivers to respect the traffic laws and drive carefully. If everybody can do that, the traffic accident fatalities will decline.

"I think that traffic police have to broadcast traffic laws and practice safe driving because not all people know and understand [the laws]."

Welcome Speech of

H.E. Ouk Kim Lek Deputy Commissioner of National Police

Press Conference on

Awareness Campaign and Road Traffic Law Enforcement

“Safety Helmet Wearing In Phnom Penh”

- My Respect to Your Excellency and the Chairs!

- Representatives from Global Road Safety Partnership (GRSP), Handicap International Belgium (HIB) and other NGOs!

- And Your Excellency, Ladies and Gentlemen within this Press Conference.

On behalf of H.E General Commissioner of National Police and on behalf of myself, I am glade to warmly welcome the support to make this Press Conference on Awareness Campaign and Road Traffic Law Enforcement “Safety Helmet Wearing In Phnom Penh” possible.

Yesterday, National Road Safety Committee organized a workshop on Helmet Standard presided by H.E Savoeun KHAN, Secretary of State of Ministry of Interior with the involvement from senior representatives of Ministry of Public Works and Transport and Ministry of Industry, Mine and Energy. It was focused on compulsory of requirement and assurance of Helmet Standard for motorbike and motor tricycle riders.

It has been seen that transportation means and all types of vehicle have increased dramatically, particularly motorcycle and motor tricycle with an estimation of more than 500.000 or 80% of road transportation means. The road crash remains increased noticeably causing more than 4 died and other 70 injured daily, or equal to 17.8% of fatality per 10.000 registered vehicles. It is the highest rate in ASEAN region. Motor cycle or motor tricycle account for the highest rate, 63% fatalities, 75% casualties and 40% head injury.

After the road traffic law came into effect in September 2007, the relevant ministries such as Ministry of Public Works and Transport and Ministry of Interior have enforced it actively. General Commissariat of National Police has conducted a pilot enforcement within 5 provinces, Phnom Penh, Kandal province, Kampong Chand province, Sihanouk vil and Battambang province. During the piloting, the police conducted education awareness to all riders/drivers on helmet wearing in accordance with Notice No 283 issued on October 6^th, 2008 by General Commissariat of National Police. It informed the public that the fining of not wearing helmet – chapter 10 of road traffic law – will be made from January 1^st, 2009.

General Commissariat of National Police has developed a realistic plan to promote and strengthen the safety helmet wearing enforcement as the following:

1. Educate the public the importance of wearing a helmet and the positive impact of wearing a helmet while riding;

2. Encourage all national polices to be the models on helmet wearing;

3. Order the police force to act as both traffic law educator and traffic law enforcers by fining in a consistent manner.

However, the even though the plan and measures have been developed, the enforcement has not been yet accomplished effectively and bring about satisfactory. It is due the following challenges:

1. It is conflict with the habit, inconvenient to turn the head and difficult to keep.

2. The education and awareness on importance or wearing helmet and the consequence of not wearing helmet is not broadly made.

3. We lack of financial support.

4. Civil servants and armed force have not yet act as a model on helmet wearing.

5. There is the absence of forcing and fining on those riders who do not wearing helmet.

Regarding the road traffic law, article 9 should be taken for re-consideration. It requires only the riders to wear the helmets, but it is obviously seen that most of the passengers also have head injury or even more than the riders. If we look at traffic law, the police are not permitted to force the passengers to wear helmets.

Conclusion:

General Commissariat of National Police has decided and determined that in January 1^st, 2009 will be date when the police start checking and fining those riders who do not wearing helmet. This action will be taken in an active manner till all riders have the habit of wearing helmets.

At the same time, General Commissariat of National Police will be enforcing other article as well such as: number plate, riding license, over loading, rear vision mirror and not respecting the traffic signs … etc since they are the main causes leading to traffic congestion and serious collision.

At last, on behalf of General Commissariat of National Police, I would like to solemnly announce that I take action to enforce the law effectively in order to reduce road crash, aligning the policy of the government. .

I would like to wish all of you to accomplish a great achievement in New Road Traffic Land Law.

Goverment officer must be a leader in wearing helmet

HE. Ouk Kimlek said that the government officer must treat him/her self in wearing helmet as a leader because general people have less knowledge of traffic law in helmet wearing than government officer.

Helmet wearing start to enforce from January 2009

Press release on helmet enforcement Campaign

Press release

Phnom Penh (November 7^th, 2008) In 2007, 1,545 persons were killed and another 7,150 were severelyinjured on the roads of Cambodia. The Road Traffic Accident Victim Information System (RTAVIS) Annual Report 2007 showed that during the last five years the number of fatalities has almost doubled. Cambodia has one of the highest fatality rates in the region, accounting for 17.8 fatalities per 10.000 registered vehicles..

More than 70% of casualties are the motorbike users, among them only 3% wearing helmet. 80% of motorbike fatalities suffer from head injuries, and more than 72% being considered as severe (coma).

These debilitating injuries are preventable, The World Health Organization (WHO) in their 2006 document “Helmets: a Road Safety Manual for Decision-makers and Practitioners” clearly prove that safety helmet can minimize the severity of head injury if it is used correctly. However, helmet wearing rates in Cambodia remain low. According to annual helmet wearing surveys conducted by Handicap International Belgium (HIB) and Ministry of Health (MoH), the helmet wearing rate has increased gradually. Since 2004, helmet wearing in Phnom Penh stood at only 8%, but it has increased to 24% by mid-2008.

While safety prevention is increasing among the public, the National Road Safety Committee (NRSC), HIB and Global Road Safety Partnership (GRSP)believes that achieving a higher rate of helmet wearing is critical in reducing the epidemic of head injuries witnessed on the roads of Cambodia. .

To effectively promote the helmet wearing enforcement nationwide, the NRSC in collaboration from HIB and GRSP is running a public awareness campaign in Phnom Penh from Nov 1^st to Dec 31^st, 2008. The campaign aims at increasing the awaress of road users on the following topics::

- Benefits of helmet wearing;

- Correct way to wear helmets

- Promote the habit of helmet wearing for for self safety; and

- Respect of traffic law

To further encourage students to wear helmets, the NRSC will also subsidize 2,000 helmets to students in 4 secondary schools in Phnom Penh – at 5 USD each or half the market price.

Furthermore, the education campaign will be closely linked to helmet wearing enforcement. Enforcing this component of the traffic law is a priority of the national traffic police and critical in reducing head trauma related to motorcycle accidents. The national traffic police have committed to enforcing the law in January 2009. To assist the Ministry of Interior and National Traffic Police to adequately prepare for these measures, HIB and GRSP have provided technical support to develop helmet enforcement strategies, as well as training on practical helmet enforcement procedures.

Linking road safety education with traffic law enforcement is the best strategy for achieving our common goal of reducing accidents, injuries and deaths on the roads of Cambodia.

During the annual Pchum Ben Festival, road crashes and casualties on the roads of Cambodia increase dramatically as families hit the roads to return to their home provinces to celebrate this important festival.

Road Traffic law Enforcement Workshop

H.E Em Sam An said in the open ceremony of Professional Development for Traffic Police Executive Workshop

His Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen!

The content of our road traffic law needs a good operator to realize the goal of the law. The law enforcement is a factor to deciding on the fate of traffic safety in the country, namely the fate of people and nation as whole. We all have to keep in mind that our people are calling us and waiting for our help. Based on the plan on road traffic law which will be enforce in near future, all operators should have virtue, morality, professional integrity, and adhere to the strictness, truth, and justice, and have a high level of understanding about the law, skills, and technique, have a good cooperation with all national and international institutions, encourage the enforcement of new law with transparency in a bid to minimize offenses and traffic accidents and keep good public orders.

In fact, during the implementation of the plan, we will be faced with new obstacles which will occur eventually, and hence we are supposed to use problem-solving skills such as flexibility and coordination to avert deadlock and urge the plan to proceed according to the set goal. Meanwhile, we have to review and improve some deficiencies on a timely manner and draw up experience on a regular basis in order to increase vigilance.

Through the workshop, I hope that the mental development will further increase trainees’ capacity so that they can take all responsibilities.

The Ministry of Interior will continue to successfully implement the high recommendation of Prime Minister Hun Sen by enhancing the cooperation with national and international communities to seek mental and physical resources and encourage the enforcement of road traffic law more effectively.

The Ministry of Interior would like to highly evaluate and praise HIB for putting mental and physical strengths into traffic safety sector and also would like to thank GRSP for having provided safety helmets and organized the workshop.

I would like to welcome the fruitful results of the workshop and would say that all trainees will use the knowledge gained from the workshop and my recommendations to disseminate to others on a responsible and effective manner.

Finally, I would like to close the workshop on road traffic law enforcement from now on. and bless His Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen with four Buddhist wishes: Longevity, Complexion, Good Health, Strength and Invincibility.

Development of National Traffic Law Enforcement Action Plan

Development of National Traffic Law Enforcement Action Plan

August 27-29, 2008
Venue: Cambodiana Hotel
In 2007, an estimated 1,545 people were killed and 7,150 severely injured in road accidents in Cambodia. Over the last five years, fatalities have more than doubled, and with 17.8 deaths per 10,000 vehicles, Cambodia has one of the highest fatality rate in the ASEAN region (RTAVIS 2007). Consequently, accidents and casualties cost the Royal Government of Cambodia USD 116 million dollars, according to 2004 Asia Development Bank Road Accident Costing survey.

To reduce road accidents, injuries and deaths, the Royal Government of Cambodia passed a landmark road traffic law in December 2006 which came into force in September 2007. Now, to improve the effectiveness of traffic law enforcement nationwide, the Ministry of Interior, and the National Police Commissariat in partnership with Handicap International Belgium and Global Road Safety Partnership are conducting two workshops from august 27-29^th, 2008 aimed at developing a national traffic law enforcement strategy and action plan.

The goals of the three-day workshop are:

· To ensure high-level national police support for the strengthening of traffic law enforcement;

· To comprehend and identify effective strategic approaches, plans and operations to traffic policing in Cambodia and develop a national enforcement action plan;

· To train traffic police officers on traffic law enforcement and good practice policing methods focused on reducing road fatalities.

Participants will include members of the Ministry of Interior, National Police Commissariat, Traffic Police, National Road Safety Committee, Land Transport Department, Ministry of Justice as well as concerned non-governmental organizations and private companies. The workshop will be facilitated by international police experts from Australia with extensive experience working with national police throughout Asia.

The national traffic law enforcement strategy and action plan will aim to set enforcement objectives, priorities, actions and timelines for the traffic police, and provide the basis for operational police trainings and resource procurement.

A key focus will be on developing and prioritizing enforcement strategies and measures that target proven accident and casualty risks such as non-helmet wearing, speeding, drink-driving, non-seatbelt wearing and overloading.

It is expected that following the approval of the national traffic law enforcement strategy and action plan by the Ministry of Interior, training programmes will be set up in late 2008 by the National Traffic Police targeting specific traffic offences as defined and prioritized in the enforcement action plan.
