Road Safety

Road Safety refers to the measures and practices aimed at preventing road users from being harmed while traveling on roadways. This includes a wide range of strategies encompassing traffic laws, vehicle safety features, infrastructure design, and educational campaigns. Road safety initiatives often focus on reducing the incidence of road traffic accidents, which can result in injuries or fatalities to drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and cyclists. Key components of road safety include adherence to speed limits, the use of seat belts and helmets, the enforcement of driving under the influence laws, and the implementation of safe road infrastructure such as well-marked pedestrian crossings, traffic signals, and signage. Promoting awareness and encouraging responsible behavior among all road users are essential for enhancing road safety and fostering a culture of cautious and considerate driving.
