Transport Values

Changing the behaviour of road users to create safer roads is important to the City of Johannesburg.

FOR this reason, a set of five Transport Values have been designed aimed at getting people to reflect on their behaviour and attitudes. They are one way in which everyone can contribute in a positive and proactive way to improving conditions on the city's roads.
