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.

CAG in collaboration with the Tamil Nadu Consumer Protection and Environment Research Centre (TNCPERC), Tiruvarur organised a workshop on ‘Strengthening Road Safety Decision Making’ for members of the District Road Safety Committee (DRSC) on the 18th of July, 2022.

The session was inaugurated by the District Revenue Officer, Mr. P.
More than 50% of vehicle drivers in Tirunelveli district were found not adhering to the helmet and seatbelt laws, says a compliance audit conducted by CAG recently. With Tamil Nadu topping the charts for the highest number of annual road crashes consecutively for the fifth year in 2020, it is important to lookback, learn and redefine our road safety management practices. This study also recommends next steps for proactive enforcement and road safety management in districts of Tamil Nadu.
Any helmet is better than no helmet is a myth. A safe ISI certified helmet is the only one that can withstand heavy blows to the head and save lives. Wearing a safe helmet is important. Give us a thumbs up if you own a certified helmet.

Did you know that the UTS app cannot be used in and around a 100-metre radius of any railway station? Within this radius, a #passenger has to purchase tickets at the counter. This has been done to prevent ticketless passengers from purchasing a ticket when they encounter a ticket checker on the platform. What is your opinion on this?
