The Government of India has recognized that road accidents is a leading cause of death in the country. It has also recognized the importance of addressing road safety in order to reduce the number of accidents, deaths and injuries on the road. This must also be seen as a joint effort/responsibility of State and Central Government. The National Road Safety Policy is an effort for this movement by the government.
The Government has taken the following steps to improve safety on the roads:
National Road Safety Board is an agency that the Government has dedicated to supervise the matters related to road safety. This board is meant to provide strategies that will implement Road Safety Policy. National Road Safety Fund is also to be established by the Government to fund road activities.
There are three types of road safety signages - mandatory, informative, and cautionary signs.
The National Safety Policy was established in February 2009.
The four Es to prevent accidents on roads in India are Education, Enforcement, Engineering, and Environment and Emergency care of victims of road accidents.
If you notice the yellow marking on the curb, it means that you can stop your vehicle only for the passenger to either get in or get out. The driver must stay inside the car and not get out of it. Red marking means that the area is restricted to parking.
