About the Pointsmen Project

For more than 20 years, the OUTsurance Pointsmen have been helping to keep South Africa moving. In 2005, OUTsurance partnered with Traffic Freeflow to launch the Pointsmen Project, helping to ease traffic congestion, improve road safety, and create employment opportunities for people from underprivileged communities.

Passionate about what they do, our Pointsmen and Pointswomen are committed to making your daily commute a little easier. You'll recognise them by their bright green bibs, friendly smiles, and dedication to keeping traffic flowing.

Just another way we're making sure South Africa Always Gets Something OUT.
