Celebration of Road Safety Week
Road Safety Week is an annual event observed by major Indian metropolises to raise awareness of various traffic signals and encourage people to drive safely. Throughout the week, the transportation departments of several states raise awareness in workplaces, schools, colleges, and on the highways by implementing community-building initiatives. Also, they raise awareness of the dangers of drunk driving, speeding, and the necessity of seat belts for drivers of four-wheelers and helmets for bikers. They also provide information on driving signs and traffic. They occasionally pick themes to convey to the general public. ‘Sadak Suraksha Jeevan Raksha’ was observed in India from January 10 to January 17, 2022.
Traffic Signs and Road Safety Rules in India
Traffic signs, often known as road signs, are signs placed alongside roadways to advise drivers of important information. Instead of using words as symbols, pictorial signs are used. These are traffic control devices that need careful consideration, observance, and appropriate driving behavior. Traffic signs have the goal of providing information and instructions about the road ahead to vehicles, pedestrians, and other drivers via visual indicators. These signs are important because they control traffic, maintain road safety, and meet international standards.
