Road Safety

Road Safety refers to the set of measures and practices designed to prevent road users from being killed or seriously injured. This encompasses various aspects, including traffic laws, signage, vehicle design, road infrastructure, and public education campaigns. Road safety aims to ensure that all individuals—drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and cyclists—can travel safely and confidently on road networks. Key elements of road safety include obeying speed limits, wearing seat belts, using helmets, avoiding distractions while driving, and following traffic regulations. Enhanced road safety can significantly reduce accidents and fatalities, making it a crucial component of public health and urban planning. The concept emphasizes the shared responsibility of road users, government authorities, and organizations in creating safer travel environments.
