The Arrive Alive campaign was launched by the South African government to promote road
safety awareness and reduce traffic-related injuries and fatalities. It uses:
✅ Television and radio ads to warn about reckless driving.
✅ Social media campaigns to provide real-time traffic updates.

driving, pedestrian safety, and seatbelt usage.
