Hyderabad: Members of Telangana Four-Wheeler Drivers’ Association organised 29th Road Safety Week on Wednesday. The campaign of Road Safety Week was to promote the road safety measures in the community, schools, colleges, work places and roads. The campaign was segmented into three domains Safe People, Safe Vehicles and Safe roads.
The objectives of Road Safety Week are
1. To reduce and completely wipe out the road accidents which are leading to death and injury cases by applying the road safety measures.
2. To encourage all the travellers to follow the traffic rules and wear helmets and seat belts while driving.
3. To implement the new preventative measures which are proved to lessen the risk of road accidents causing death and Injury.
4. To spread awareness among the people about the speed limit of the vehicles to prevent road accidents.
5. To maintain the speed and required distance from other vehicles.
6. To spread awareness about drinking and driving and promote them to not drive when tired and do not use phones or radios while driving.
For the safety of people, Speed management campaigns were conducted. They help people learn about the dangers of overspeed, about the penalties they may face if they break speed limit laws. They were taught about signs, road markings and global positioning systems in vehicles to know the appropriate speed limits set for any given road. These campaigns offer practical reasons to slow down.
For the safety of vehicles, certain vehicle safety technologies can also help to manage speed, such as intelligent speed assistance, and avoid a crash in the first place, like autonomous emergency braking. For safe roads, Speed management must be a part of every road design and every review of existing roads. Setting and enforcing appropriate speed limits are also important. 30 km per hour in pedestrian zones, 50 km per hour at crossroad intersections and 70 km per hour on undivided roads are just some examples of safer speeds that minimise the risk of fatality.
