Why Road Safety ?
Some Pictorials
Why Road Safety?
 Road Accidents World wide

 • We lost approximately 1,200,000 lives every year.

 • Every hour costs approximately 20 children lives.

 • 50,000,000 people faced injuries & disabilities.

 • Massive amount of budget is wasted.

 • In 3rd World Countries Traffic Jam is becoming a routine
Four E’s of Road
Safety

  1. Engineering

  2. Education

  3. Equipment

  4. Enforcement
1-Engineering

• Construction of safe roads,
bridges, under passes, fly-over,
u-turns

• Proper marking of Lines
Lanes/carriage way

• Installation of sign boards

• Safe angle of inclination/
declination /curves




 Without proper and safe engineering no one can ensure road safety
Engineering faults may
result in collapse
2-Education
• Road safety education since
childhood is necessary for the
upcoming generation.

• Information regarding use of road
for pedestrians, motorists is crucial

• Education through print /
electronic media and web site for
the current motorist




 Lack of education in road sense, driving skills may result in accident
Lack of Education may results
like this
3-Equipment
 • Safety also depends upon
 how properly the road user is
 equipped in which equipment.

 • If the motorist is well
 equipped i.e having all the
 necessary equipment then it
 definitely play a great role in
 the road safety.

 • Equipment could be any
 thing like vehicle itself, tool
 box, wheels, jack, fire
 extinguisher, wipers, mirrors, l
 ights, indicator, First Aid kit
 Hazard triangle/cones etc.

You could be in danger if you aren’t equipped in an appropriate equipment/vehicle
Flaw in equipment may cause
incident
It may cause accident as well
4-Enforcement
• Strict enforcement and
Implementation of law on
equality basis plays a vital
role in road safety

• This ensure smooth and
unhindered flow of traffic and
also it ensures the security of
road users.




Equal application of law plays a vital role in ensuring road safety
Leniency in enforcement
creates situation like this
Sometimes like it

Cabin/Cockpit Drill

•Seat Adjustment
•Seat belt
•Mirror Adjustment
•Steering Adjustment
•Clutch /Gear/Hand brake
Seat belt
•Seat belt saves
approximately 2000 lives
on motorways.
• It is helpful in preventing
Major injuries.
• Reduces chances of
death.
• Necessary for all
passengers including rare
• Vital for HTV’s as well
•Be protected rather to be
projected, always wear
your seat belt.
Mobile Phone
• It is dangerous because
telephone conversation
distracts from the mental
concentration needed to
drive safely.
• Research has shown that
driver’s reaction times are
up to 50% slower that normal
when driving and using
a mobile phone.

• Another research suggests
that if you are using mobile
phone while driving you are
four times more likely to have a
crash.
Always Stop at stop-line




Don’t deprived pedestrian from their right, give them way to cross roads
Motor cycle
 • Very Dangerous vehicle, so
 use it with proper care &
 attention.
 • Always wear standard
 helmet.
 • Helmet is also necessary for
 pillion riders.
 • Total two passengers.
 • Avoid long loose clothes
 which may get tangled in the
 chain or wheel.



             Ladies are also supposed to wear a safety helmet
Y Motorcycle is Unsafe?
 • Soon gets unbalanced
 because of two wheels.
 • Open Body.
 • M/cyclist sometimes moves
 in blind spot of over vehicles.
 • Usually travel more than two
 passengers.
 • Open Chain and Wheel
 without their covering.
 • Normally m/cyclist remove
 mirrors as their
 misconception is that there’s
 no need.
Proper Costume
for Motorcyclist
• Helmet with sun/dust visor.

hand gloves or thick cloth for
preventing upper body.

5 safe points for road crossing




Zebra Crossing                   Over head Bridge



                 Light Signals




 Under Pass                           Pelican Crossing
Road crossing technique
when safe points aren’t
available
• Stop at the edge of the road and observe the traffic.
• Keep your concentration focused towards the coming
traffic.
• Always cross the road straight and use quick steps.

Conclusion

•Road Safety is as

Don’t Every Forget.


•Be Careful, Even after
the Engine is Off.
