Road Safety should be known by everyone. Anyone should be aware of safety by Road accidents. If we follow rule followed by Traffic police we will be safe and sound. If we will be aware of road safety there will be less accidents in the word.

2. Road Safety
Road traffic safety refers to the methods and measures used to
prevent road users from being killed or seriously injured. Typical road
users include pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, vehicle passengers,
horse riders, and passengers of on-road public
transport (mainly buses and trams).

3. Knowing Some Traffic Rules:
• NEVER DRINK & DRIVE.
• ALWAYS WEAR SEAT BELT.
• KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE FROM THE VEHICLE AHEAD.
• ALWAYS AVOID DISTRACTIONS.
• NEVER BREAK RED SIGNAL.
• ALWAYS DRIVE WITHIN SPEED LIMIT.
• AVOID THE DROWSINESS WHILE DRIVING.
• WATCH OUT FOR DRIVERS ON THE ROAD.

4. Some of the Road Safety Signs:
 Traffic signs or road signs are
signs erected at the side of or
above roads to give instructions
or provide information to road
users. The earliest signs were
simple wooden or stone
milestones. Later, signs with
directional arms were introduced,
for example the fingerposts in
the United Kingdom and
their wooden counterparts in
Saxony.

5. Informative Signs:
 An informative sign is a very legibly
printed and very
noticeable placard that informs
people of the purpose of an object, or
gives them instruction on the use of
something. An example is a traffic
sign such as a stop sign.

6. Why Accident take place:
A TRAFFIC COLLISION, ALSO CALLED
A MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISION, CAR
ACCIDENT OR CAR CRASH, OCCURS WHEN
A VEHICLE COLLIDES WITH ANOTHER
VEHICLE, PEDESTRIAN, ANIMAL, ROAD
DEBRIS, OR OTHER STATIONARY
OBSTRUCTION, SUCH AS A TREE, POLE OR
BUILDING. TRAFFIC COLLISIONS OFTEN
RESULT IN INJURY, DISABILITY, DEATH, AND
PROPERTY DAMAGE AS WELL AS FINANCIAL
COSTS TO BOTH SOCIETY AND THE
INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED. ROAD TRANSPORT
IS THE MOST DANGEROUS SITUATION
PEOPLE DEAL WITH ON A DAILY BASIS, BUT
CASUALTY FIGURES FROM SUCH INCIDENTS
ATTRACT LESS MEDIA ATTENTION THAN
OTHER, LESS FREQUENT TYPES OF TRAGEDY.
