road safety

CAG's #Seatelt compliance studies show very poor compliance among rear seat passengers. The unfortunate death of #CyrusMistry highlights that #Airbags work only in conjunction with seatbelts. The law requires you to be buckled up & courts have started to reduce post-crash compensation for those who don't wear safety gear!

Line markings on #Roads keep road users #safe. It is important that they are clearly visible throughout the day & night. Urging local #Governments to adopt safer design practices & not ignore faded line markings.

#India currently does not require #Cyclists to wear #helmets & so there are no helmet standards either. Considering cyclists are Vulnerable Road Users, with more than 4000 cyclists dying each year, this must change! Support this call for action by giving us a thumbs up.

The historical richness of #Madras is far & wide. Harking back to simpler times of the occasional motor car on the road! This was back in 1953, near what is now Udupi home & Mathsya restaurant in #Egmore.

Road crashes & their aftermath pose a big threat to our young people. This #InternationalYouthDay let us pledge for intergenerational solidarity; educate our youth on road risks and involve them in planning safer roads. Let us leave no one behind.

A genuine safe #helmet carries a non-removable laminated #ISI mark & a manufacturer's code on it. One can check the authenticity of the ISI certification online by visiting the BIS portal via https://bit.ly/3BGWzYv

Did you know? In Amsterdam, in the early 1970s, the "Stop Murdering Children" street safety movement was instrumental in reducing traffic-related deaths & injuries, especially among children. Local streets were redesigned to make streets safer for walking & cycling. Our streets also need to be made safer for children. We need to rethink & redesign our streets for people, not vehicles.

MoRTH's quality control order on protective helmet for two-wheeler riders, 2020 mandating the standard ISI mark has been effective since March 2021. Beware, the manufacturer & the rider will be penalised for fake, substandard #helmets.
