| 摘要： | Road accident is a negative externality associated with expansion in road network, motorization and urbanization. Global statistics show that every year, more than 1.35 million people die in road traffic accidents and injuring as many as 50 million people a year, with 90 per cent of those casualties occurring in developing countries. Road traffic injury is now the leading cause of death around the world for children and young adults between 5 and 29 years of age. We know that many factors affect safety of roads & road users i.e length of road network, road engineering, vehicle engineering, human population, drunken driving, road characteristics, environmental factors, distraction, speed limit, operating speed, etc. The approval by the United Nations of a new Decade of Action for Road Safety (2021-2030) with a target to halve the deaths and injuries by 2030 is a major milestone. Road accidents are a matter of great personal tragedy, tremendous social and economic costs in terms of valuable lives lost, medical treatment, insurance and damage to public and private property. The number of people being affected both physically and mentally by road accidents is extremely high and Road safety has become an issue of national as well as international concern. Engineers, planners, Government at Central & state level and other stakeholders can certainly contribute greatly to improving road safety by adopting proven techniques for safety management. |
