In today’s era, road accidents are rampant. Today everyone is in such a hurry that they, in their rush to reach the destination. Every person on earth should pay full attention to road safety whether he uses a vehicle or not. Road accidents are becoming very common due to vehicle collisions and neglect of proper road safety measures. The number of deaths due to accidents is increasing due to people ignoring road safety rules and collision of vehicles.
Children and students are the most vulnerable groups towards road accidents, minor injuries or even major injuries due to lack of guidance from elders. There should be no delay in making children well aware of road safety rules and measures in their early times. It is the duty of parents and teachers to guide them well. Parents should teach them to wear a seat belt or helmet while driving a car. To set a good example, parents should follow all the rules related to road safety while driving because parents are the first example in their children’s lives to learn a task.
Road safety is the prevention and protection of road accidents by using all the road safety measures. It is to secure people while traveling on the roads. It is to make safe all the road users such as pedestrians, two-wheelers, four wheelers, multi-wheelers, and other transport vehicle users. Practicing road safety measures is very good and safe to all people all through the life. Everyone should respect others while driving or walking on the road and take care of their safety.
People safety on the road is one of the most important aspects in order to avoid road side accidents, injury, and death. We can judge the importance of road safety on the basis of national statistical data about total reported accidents and death. Almost 42% cases involve pedestrians and one way road users.
There are various methods of creating awareness among common public such as seminars, workshops, students education by adding basic road-safety lessons to syllabus, make people aware about green cross code means stop, look, listen, think and then cross, learning of traffic lights, understanding of road signs, etc. Following all the road safety measures help a lot to protect all the road problems. Some effective measures of road safety are like basic awareness about vehicle, defensive driving according to weather and road conditions, use of vehicle lights and horn, wearing seat belt, well use of vehicle mirrors, avoid over-speeding, understanding road lights, maintaining distance of vehicle on road, proper understanding of handling crisis situation, telecast of awareness documentaries on TV, etc.
Along with reducing the number of road accidents and injury cases, road safety is very important for people of all age groups to be careful and safe. Therefore, everyone should strictly follow all rules, controllers, and signs of road traffic lights. Children should be well accustomed to road safety by getting proper education by teachers in school and correct knowledge from their parents at home. Together we should all be aware of road safety, and also inform our children about traffic rules. Only then can the road accidents that are increasing will be controlled.
