Who is responsible for road safety
For road safety to be realized, the road must be protected, and the driver must follow the rules and safety means. We will explain how this is done below:
For roads: If a road is fully equipped and prepared in a safe manner and conforms to international specifications, this makes it initially available for use, but this is not enough. We want to reach the level of road safety. This is done by securing roads with systems and devices designed and developed to be placed where accidents may occur, to clarify the road and alert and guide drivers, thus enhancing road safety.
For the driver: This is the most important part of road safety, as most of the responsibility depends on the driver. They must follow certain guidelines and safety rules for driving on the road.
Road safety rules for the driver
Seat belt: It is the first thing to achieve road safety for the driver, as it reduces deaths by 50% and injuries to passengers in the front seats.
The speed limit: There is a speed limit for drivers of all types of vehicles, and it varies from road to road. City speeds are different from highways, and the World Health Organization has published an article about what breaking the speed limit does to road safety.
Traffic lights and don’t get distracted: Traffic lights are designed to control and organize traffic, and if drivers don’t follow them, this can cause disasters, especially if they are at high speeds, as mentioned in the previous point.
