Road safety refers to methods of preventing deaths and serious injuries of road users such as cyclists, motorists, and passengers. India sees one road death every 4 minutes, with 16 people dying hourly and two-wheelers accounting for 29% of deaths. Safety tips for two-wheeler drivers include wearing a helmet with a face shield, maintaining distance from other vehicles, looking out for road hazards, ensuring the bike is well-maintained, using reflective bands to increase visibility, never drinking and driving, and following all traffic rules.
In the frontal impact the driver and passenger heads were both well protected by the driver and passenger airbags. Both seatbelts were equipped with pretensioners and load limiters. The passenger knees areas did not show critical structures and the driver knees find hard contact with the steering column. The bodyshell was rated as stable and was capable of withstanding further loading. The model could meet the requirements of the UN95 side impact test.
Traffic rules and safety rules were discussed over 20 pages. Key points included: do not stop at pedestrian crossings or cross with red lights; only two people per two-wheeler; traffic control ensures safety during construction or accidents. Causes of accidents included speeding, drunk driving, and ignoring safety precautions like seatbelts. Intersections can be perpendicular, roundabouts, or level crossings. Education from childhood on safety was emphasized to form safe habits.

The document emphasizes that understanding and utilizing these safety features can help reduce accidents and save lives.
The document provides various tips for preventing road accidents, aimed at different groups including children, parents, and drivers. Some of the key tips mentioned are:
1. Teach children road safety from a young age, as early as age six, and discourage behaviors that could lead to accidents like racing videos.
2. Parents should monitor the content children watch and supervise their activities near roads.
3. Drivers should follow speed limits, drive cautiously especially at night, and never drink and drive.
You are fast on your way to being an adult
You are already using roads independently
You are responsible not only for own life but the lives of others on the road
Why Road Safety?
Road traffic accidents - No 1 cause of death (10-25 years)
Avg 1000 young people die everyday.
For every child killed, 10 are seriously injured.
Children, elderly, pedestrians & cyclists are most vulnerable.

Road safety involves methods to prevent injuries from traffic accidents. The main danger is the risk of collisions. Children are especially vulnerable because of lack of supervision. More than 1.2 million people die worldwide in road accidents each year. The main causes of accidents are distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, rain, and running red lights. Solutions include better driver education, public safety campaigns, and improved road conditions.

Speed Limits and Road Safety: Examples of Questions to Ask to Ensure the Safe...Barry Wellar
The topic of speed limits and road safety has been around since the advent of the automobile and the topic still brings heated debate, usually along the lines of increasing speed limits to accommodate private motor vehicle operators. In these remarks for a panel discussion at the Ottawa Centre Community Summit on Speed Limits and Road Safety, I present a total of 20 questions which I believe provide a considerable amount of thought for citizens, community associations, advocacy groups, public interest groups, elected and appointed government officials, lawyers, academics, and others who seek actionable suggestions on how to ensure that whatever decisions are made about speed limits and road safety, those decisions have all due regard for the safety of pedestrians, and especially children, persons with disabilities, and seniors, who are among the most vulnerable of road users.

In an effort to improve pedestrian safety, the City of San Francisco has increased funding for
pedestrian safety initiatives such as countdown clocks, brighter stripping of crosswalks and
pedestrian islands along busy thoroughfares. Driver and pedestrian enforcement efforts have
also increased with more cameras mounted in intersections to catch red light runners,
pedestrian sting operations and public education efforts.
While these measures will help to reduce pedestrian dangers, it is the responsibility of each of
us to recognize the hazards for us as pedestrians and exercise diligence.
Issues for San Francisco Pedestrians:
