WDoR 2022 was commemorated in a joint event by CAG, the Greater Chennai Traffic Police, and the Dr. Ambedkar Law University. Thiru Shankar Jiwal, IPS, Commissioner of Police, Chennai and Mr. M. Manakumar, Additional Transport Commissioner felicitated the event.
To remember the many precious lives killed and injured in Tamil Nadu's roads and to commend the efforts taken by the state consistently to promote road safety, we at CAG are organising an event titled “Tamil Nadu’s MARCH towards Vision ZERO”, in collaboration with the School of Excellence in Law and Greater Chennai Traffic Police on 22nd November 2022. Come join us and express your solidarity in creating safer roads for all.
#RoadCrashes impact families - financially compromising quality of life causing time poverty for women etc. With this year's theme being #Justice it's important to practice road discipline, create a just post-crash care system to reduce deaths & severe injuries. #WDoR2022 #RememberSupportAct

Over 25% of India's population (about 36 crore) are #children & these children make for very vulnerable road users. According to MoRTH's report 31 children die in road crashes everyday. This #ChildrensDay, let us strive to be proactive in creating safer roads for children. #RoadSafety
Wide, accessible footpaths are safe zones that separate pedestrians from the moving traffic. Lack of such fundamental infrastructure/poorly laid footpaths near schools hinder the safe movement of children & their need for a shared public space.
Taking note of the frustration caused to commuters due to sudden road closures, the Greater Chennai Traffic Police will now update #traffic disruptions in the newly created roadEase app. This will then be reflected in Google Maps.

Road signs should provide valuable information to drivers including #warnings about changes in road layouts, road obstructions & speed/direction instructions. The first image illustrates how the barricade offers no such information for the driver & when used like this, could actually worsen #RoadSafety.
CAG wrote a letter to the Minster of Transport, Tamil Nadu appreciating the government's G.O for increasing the penalties for several violations as per the Motor Vehicles Amendment Act 2019.
