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.

Static pointsmen are traffic controllers assigned to specific, high-traffic intersections on a regular, daily basis to manage congestion.

Mobile pointsmen are specially trained traffic controllers who respond quickly to sudden traffic disruptions, helping to keep roads moving safely and efficiently.

It takes many hands to make the Pointsmen Project a success. Thanks to Traffic Freeflow, incredible training by the JMPD and TMPD and media support from our radio partners Kfm 94.5, 94.7, 702 and CapeTalk.
