Why Road Safety ? Some Pictorials
![Page 6: Road Safety Challenges & Solutions](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5411ab1c8d7f72dd728b45c2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
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
![Page 7: Road Safety Challenges & Solutions](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5411ab1c8d7f72dd728b45c2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Four E’s of Road Safety
1. Engineering
2. Education
3. Equipment
4. Enforcement
![Page 8: Road Safety Challenges & Solutions](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5411ab1c8d7f72dd728b45c2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• 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
1-Engineering
Without proper and safe engineering no one can ensure road safety
![Page 9: Road Safety Challenges & Solutions](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5411ab1c8d7f72dd728b45c2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Engineering faults may result in collapse
![Page 10: Road Safety Challenges & Solutions](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5411ab1c8d7f72dd728b45c2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• 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
2-Education
Lack of education in road sense, driving skills may result in accident
![Page 11: Road Safety Challenges & Solutions](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5411ab1c8d7f72dd728b45c2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Lack of Education may results like this
![Page 12: Road Safety Challenges & Solutions](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5411ab1c8d7f72dd728b45c2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
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, lights, 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
![Page 14: Road Safety Challenges & Solutions](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5411ab1c8d7f72dd728b45c2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
It may cause accident as well
![Page 15: Road Safety Challenges & Solutions](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5411ab1c8d7f72dd728b45c2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• 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.
