Our Community Road Safety Projects

Substantial opportunities and scope exist for creating a safer road environment through sustained introduction of safe community programs at the local levels by providing wider public participation and awareness, as well as making necessary changes in behavior and environment.

The community itself, by virtue of its expertise, enthusiasm, resources, and network, can greatly enhance existing programs and even devise new ways of tackling safety problems. About 30%–40%of crashes and injuries could be reduced through such programs. The opportunities for community road safety cover a wide area, which includes a definition of community road safety and explanation of its role, outline of the programs, essential structures required for sustained programs and the other issues viz good practices, integration of community road safety using street campaign and local media.
