New Highway Code by December

THE Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe (TSCZ) says it plans to introduce an updated version of the Highway Code by the end of this year as part of efforts to tame road carnage.

Addressing stakeholders at the launch of the new Highway Code consultative meetings in Chinhoyi on Wednesday , TSCZ spokesperson Ernest Muchena said the new code, which is still at the drafting stage, would replace the old Highway Code developed in 1979.

Muchena also said the new code would incorporate road signage from other countries in the Southern African Development Community (Sadc).
